This is Just to Say, William Carlos Williams

We love this poem for its sheer deliciousness. It
reads like a piece of the most beautifully written
found poetry a note taped to the icebox door.
Succinct, simple, and yet juicy, the limited lines
profess a narrative far beyond what actually
exists on the page.
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
