One More!

I love this poem ::


This is Just to Say
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





I love that poem only because in poetry books it is inevitably followed by a poem like this one ::




This is Just to Say
Erica-Lynn Gambino

(for William Carlos Williams)


I have just
asked you to
get out of my
apartment

even though
you never
thought
I would

Forgive me
you were
driving
me insane
