#90: This Is Just To Say

What the original Williams poem is about
What the original Williams poem is about

(after William Carlos Williams again)

I have mixed
out the blue notes
that you sang
in the chorus

which
you probably intended
but nevertheless
sound wrong

Forgive me
they were terrible
so sour
and so far out.

 

Note:  Dear reader, you can probably tell I’m cheating.  I’ve got to write 10 poems in 6 days to reach my goal of 100 poems in a year.  There may be more of these thieving shenanigans. Apologies.
