simplicity

we should all revive - or spark anew - our interest in and appreciation for the poet William Carlos Williams, if only because of these two poems:

The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens


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


That's poetry
