I have borrowed
The t-shirt
That was in
Your laundry basket
And which
You were probably
Going
To wear
Forgive me
It is comfortable
So soft
And so worn
I love Williams simple poem. It reminds me of all the small annoying things we do sometimes to people even though we know we shouldn't. For example, I constantly wear my husband's favorite Ramones t-shirt. I know it bothers him, but I just can't help it! It is so soft and worn in all the right places. This was a poem I wrote in five minutes and was pleased with the outcome. Williams poem is a great mentor poem to use in the classroom.
