Two Poems by William Carlos Williams

Here are the two poems read in class on Wednesday, on which you should model your free verse poems.

The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends 
upon

a red wheel 
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens

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
