This Is Just To Say
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

Bud Cole - I find nothing artful, poetic, nor entertaining in this 'poem' and view it as an insult to the works of such as Wordsworth, and other masters.a month ago
Drog - You are wrong. Wordsworth understood the immediate and understood how important it is to capture the moment.16 days ago
Bud Cole - Drog,
Regarding the above response you issued: Would you offhandedly deny me my opinion? And, it seems you refer to Wordsworth as an offender in my dislike;
Drog, my displeasure lies within the realm of 'modernism' as a genre of 'poetry.'
Williams and others like him is the culprit here, not the old and time proven, masters.16 days ago

Jferry - Haven't we all done something like this? A wonderful, witty little poem. Not a word more needed, and not a word out of place.
Great
