POEMS
Today's blog prompt from Shimelle is: Have you ever been inspired by
the words of a poem? Share the poem with your blog readers and tell
them how you came to value its words.
If you'd asked me years ago, I'd have said Nothing Gold Can Stay or later, I would have said, Stop all the Clocks or i carry you in my heart or One Art. But the first poem that jumped to my mind was: This is Just to Say 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 I love this poem. I love every bit of it. I can't even explain why. Maybe cause it's so ordinary. Cause it's so relateable. So daily life. I am not sure but it makes me happy each and every time.
