This is just to say

Apparently there is this famous poem entitled This is Just to Say, by William Carlos Williams. What an unfortunate name, that is. You'd think his parents would have been less cruel. Oh well. Anyway, here's the poem. It's pretty brilliant.
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
I heard about this poem on the greatest radio show ever in the history of the universe: This American Life. And apparently one reason this is so famous is because people have often imitated it. So, I have decided to try my hand at it occasionally, both here and on the Hate blog. Unfortunately, I have nothing creative right now.... I'll come back later with something... i'll try anyway

1. I have written nothing in this blog, tho I had every intent of putting something down
Even though I know you are wasting your time reading this drivel
Forgive me. law school has killed anything creative in my brain

ha.... that's just the start of the deluge.
