This is Just to Say by William Carlos Williams

The most famous poem by William Carlos Williams is probably "The Red Wheelbarrow". His poems are all deceptively simple, but seem to have a hidden beauty behind the words. We're reading some of his poems in literature class, and my favorite is "This is Just to Say". At first glance, it's a note apologizing for eating the plums in the icebox. But then you see the last stanza and the mouthwatering description of the plums. That description is probably my favorite part of the poem, it's certainly the best description of food in poetry that I've come across.
