This Is Just To Say

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 (1883-1963)

    one of the cutest, sweetest love poem. i must've read it first in a love poem collection, not unlike a romantic piano favourites CD compilation for the poetically-unintiated such as myself.

    on a separate note, may i confess that i enjoy following your blog a lot :) it's as fun as it is fashionably-enlightening and quite entertaining.
