Poetry: William Carlos Williams and L.D.

First, the one you probably know:

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

…and one by the largely anonymous author L.D.:

This is Just to Say

I am wearing
the sweater
that you left on
the carpet

and which
you might have wanted
to put on
when you got home

Forgive me
it was irresistible
so soft
and so warm
