This is Just To SayI have eaten
the plums
that were
in the iceboxand which
you were probably
saving
for breakfastforgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold......--William Carlos Williams
Apology
Forgive me
for backing over
and smashing
your red wheelbarrow.

It was raining
and the rear wiper
does not work on
my new plum-colored SUV.

I am also sorry
about the white
chickens.
