This Is Just To Say (poem)
| 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 I found this poem last year when we had to research a poet and pick a poem of theirs that we enjoyed. This poem caught my eye because it didn't really have a purpose other that just to say it. | ||
