This Is Just To Say

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.

-- William Carlos Williams

not exactly the deepest thing ever, but it holds a special place in my heart

I have so many memories of that poem. <3 I wrote a lot of parodies of it.

I can't decide on a favourite poem. Off the top of my head, I'd have to say The More Loving One or As I Walked Out One Evening by W.H. Auden. And if I really thought about it, I could pull up some Irish poets and some Sylvia Plath, and really, I don't want to get started on that because I want to sleep tonight. XD

XD I first read it in a writing class I took, and had to write a parody of it

I've been seeing this on my flist for about a week and finally just went OK ENOUGH. and picked this :D

I love this poem. Most especially for the parodies that people write of it :D
