this stuff makes me laugh.


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.

The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow


glazed with rain
water


beside the white
chickens.

Poem (As the Cat)


As the cat
climbed over
the top of

the jamcloset
first the right
forefoot

carefully
then the hind
stepped down
into the pit of
the empty
flowerpot
