This is Just to Say

William Carlos Williams
A two-toned purple poster features the poem, This is Just to Say by William Carlos Williams, written in white text.

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
