Poetry Month #2

First up we have a classic written by William Carlos Williams. Then we follow up with the brilliant, pithy response by Erica-Lynn Gambino. Enjoy.

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

This is Just to Say

I have just 
asked you to 
get out of my 
apartment

even though 
you never 
thought 
I would

Forgive me 
you were 
driving 
me insane
