This is Just to Say...

Here at the potatoes, we've been tossing about ideas about how to incorporate some fun writing into this blog. So periodically, we will stray from writing about topics, and all do a little creative writing. Since yesterday, Valentine's Day, is a day when a poem is considered a gift, we're going to stay in that spirit and do a little poem writing. I am not well-versed when it comes to poetry, although I try, and the first poet I actually "got" was William Carlos Williams. My favorite of his is This is Just To Say. Please read it in its entirety here:

Our assignment this week is to write our own version of this poem. We hope you enjoy.
