this is just to say

 

Today Megan at the scent of water introduced me to the poet Mary Oliver and I am in her debt.  
In return I offer my favourite poem at the moment.  
May be not as profound as Mary Oliver on first reading but just as good.    

 

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

Willian Carlos Williams 
(1883-1963)

That's one of my favourites too! So funny and gentle.
