Friday Poetry Blogging: Extravaganza!!

In honor of its being National Poetry Month, Fridays in April will feature triple your poetry fun. This week, you get one short poem from each of us. No theme, just stuff we like. For fun, see if you can guess who chose which poem - put your answer in comments.

1. This is Just To Say, by William Carlos Williams
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

2. Ode to a Baby, by Ogden Nash
A bit of talcum
Is always walcum.

3. O Captain! My Captain! by Walt Whitman (excerpt)
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up - for you the flag is flung - for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths - for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.
