Forgive me for falling
asleep

I truly cared for what
you said

But your lap was so inviting
so soft and
so warm


For those of you who don't know the stylistic reference, you NEEED to read more William Carlos Williams. A dollar goes to the person who can tell me what this poem is basically a copy of by him

P.S.
you don't really get a dollar :wink:

This is my guess. Am I right?

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

William Carlos Williams
