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, 1934

This Is Just to Say

Oh my goodness, I love this poem! It's been one of my favourites since I was a young teenager - I was so happy to see it here. By the way, I found your blog by doing a search for Tessa Kiros' Honey Cake - great blog, thank you!
