this is just to say

i have been thinking of this poem quite a lot recently.  it's so lovely, and such a wonderfully cool and refreshing poem for oppressive summer heat, i have to share it.

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
