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, “This Is Just To Say” (1962)

hahaha nice and cute poem, David.
😊, thank you.
Welcome.
Love plums!
Me too!
it that your story? )
And I’m sticking to it!
Sounds just right in a sticky night!
It does!
OMG,
Two things, first, I got a parking ticket because Caleb didn’t remind me it was Wednesday 🙁
Second, I started watching a movie yesterday. Was not all that into it and didn’t get to see it to the ending.
But I just saw the ending, something with W. C. W., and I kept thinking I haven’t heard of him before but I did hear the name recently. This morning. The Plum Poet 🙂
Well now, look at that!
Your not paying my parking ticket?
The movie is Paterson.
I do feel a sense of obligation.
Paterson…hmmm, don’t think I have seen it.
Hard to get mad when such sweet words are left behind
True😀
Delicious photo. Plums—one of the few fruits I’m allowed. Made me want to pet them and say, “Hello, Friend.”
Smiling, you have a way with words. Love it.
Streuselkuchen (I’ve checked the dictionary, this IS a German-American word) with plums and cinnamon… and six weeks summer-holidays before me… Life can be so great!
Love the word and the result! Life is Great!
hmmm, interestingly, this is my ‘most overated poem of all time. ‘ I just don,t think its great, but everyone else seems to like it
Ahhhhh, and I so loved it. That’s what makes humans so amazing. Breathe the same air yet oh so unique….
