This is Just to Say (Monday Poem)

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




from  A Family of Poems: My Favorite Poetry for Children
Selected by Caroline Kennedy
