When I was at university, we had to study this 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
While I was convinced that this was not really a poem but rather a note he'd left on the kitchen table that had fallen out of his ephemera; others in the class got terribly serious about his literary style. Today I was delighted to find this blog. Enjoy.
That was nice. I once ate the Napoleons a housemate left in the fridge and just left a "Burrrrp!" note in the empty box. Cheeky!
ReplyDeleteI had to read that too, my whole class thought it was a joke:)
