This is just to say

This is one of my favourite poems by William Carlos Williams. It’s a bowl of plums: cold, sweet, delicious, simple.

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

One thought on “This is just to say”

  1. That’s fantastic. Simple poetry, in my humble opinion, is the most artistic of its kind and most likely to elicit a wide range of reader responses. I too enjoy writing food poetry ^.^
