My friend, Jodi in Brooklyn, just posted this on Facebook:

"I am unable to eat a plum without thinking of William Carlos Williams."

How wonderful!

This is just to say
by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten 
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
