Plums

The title of this blog is from William Carlos Williams’ poem of the same name.

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

The poem was a note to Williams’ wife, Flossie. Instead of writing — Ate the plums! Bill or We’re out of plums. Sorry. Bill, he wrote this poem. Every day living can be the subject of poems. Just as every day people, can have a wolf as an imaginary friend.
