Improv 2, Post 9, Week 11

To a Poor Old Woman
William Carlos Williams


munching a plum on 
the street a paper bag
of them in her hand

They taste good to her
They taste good 
to her. They taste
good to her

You can see it by
the way she gives herself
to the one half
sucked out in her hand

Comforted
a solace of ripe plums
seeming to fill the air
They taste good to her



To a Sweet Old Dog
Casey LaRue

chewing his leg on
the floor his fluffy tail
wrapped around his body

It feels good to him
It feels good
to him. It feels
good to him

You can see it by
the way he licks his nose
and smiles at me
when he takes a break to breathe

Relieved
a peace of flealess fur
seeming to speak through his eyes
It feels good to him
