National Poetry Month: Day 25! 📖❤
When I first read this poem by William Carlos Williams, years ago, I thought it was so dumb. I didn't like it's simplicity and what I perceived to be pointlessness. But I'll be damned if it didn't get in my head and wouldn't let me stop thinking about it! Now, it's a favorite of mine! And I think of it every time I'm eating plums, which is one of my favorite summer fruits!

I didn't get it for a long time, but I've grown to appreciate William Carlos Williams's work. (I also highly recommend Paterson, a beautiful movie about a bus driver/poet inspired by W.C.W.)
