this is just to say ... i love poetry ;-)

Two days ago I came across this film on U tube - and I want to share it as I immediately fell in love with it, not only because it features a very handsome M.McFayden ;-) but because it's amazing how they gave new life to this classical poem, so it can speak to us, here and now and even make us smile ... and it also proves how just a little ordinary thing may become unordinary if we just try to look at it from a different perspective, if we just dare to open up and try to see ordinary miracles ...
good luck with looking for such happy moments!



here's the poem itself:

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/
