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

This was the first poem ever given to me by a friend and its become the Official
Poem of my friendship with this person. Its also the perfect love poem, don't you think? And
it was the first poem suggested for inclusion on this poetry blog by one of our dear readers.
So in it goes. Keep those suggestions coming, kids!
