Here are two poems by William Carlos Williams:
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
Besides these two poems I also want to share with you an email I received about a woman whose computer password was “MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento” and when asked why she chose that particular password she replied that the instructions said it must have eight characters and at least one capital. I personally think Indianapolis or Tallahassee is funnier than Sacramento but that may just be me. Also, for all readers outside the U.S., Sacramento is the capital of California, Indianapolis is the capital of Indiana, and Tallahassee is the capital of Florida, but if you pass this story along I suggest that you say Helsinki.
Why, yes, I am feeling much better. Why do you ask?
Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me
with tar and feathers.
On my honor, I will do my best not to bore you. All comments are welcome
as long as your discourse is civil and your language is not blue.
Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

Love both poems - and wish that the fridge pilferers in my home were so polite.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am very, very glad to hear you are feeling better.
Superb poems.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Perhaps you should have the missus check your apple juice.
ReplyDeleteThe juice in my fridge
I had just a smidge
It tastes a bit tingly
So I've drinken it singly
I better go get some coffee ;-) I'm glad you're feeling better!
Small works of art. Another blogging friend sent me these very poems a while ago, I had not come across them before. I like the simplicity, though at heart I am a lover of words that spin fast enough to make the eyes wobble.
ReplyDeleteI too am gladdened to hear you are feeling better, though I must have missed that you were felling grim and therefore am coming in at the end of the film, which has a happy ending after all I'm pleased to see.
Mansfield, Texas
ReplyDeleteI have been
To Mansfield
South of
Fort Worth
It has
two main roads in
And two
roads out
There
Mr Brague resided
But he left
long ago
