This short poem was written in the spirit of William Carlos Williams in response to my daughter’s Facebook inquiry, “How can I give a statement as to the subject of the poem if no one knows what the poem is about?” This is humor folks so don't take...
(A.N. The nonet is a very particular shaped poem with nine lines and syllables counting down per line with; 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 to form a triangle "shape poem" or "concrete poem." Concrete poems, I feel, are not represented well on Wattpad, because it is difficult to retain the shapes formatting, and that is sad since visually is a huge part of poetry. Overall content of this poem, "Dear Darling, What's that in the Refrigerator?" is taken from the imagism movement of the early 20th century that pictures things as they are with strong imagery that speaks more to pictures than wording. The intent of the poet is for the reader to retain a particular image in the mind of the reader, and usual these poems do not employ the poet's fancy literary tools. In this collection, "This is to Say...," I have created for the reader a theme centered on the subject of the refrigerator or refrigerator note poems: Here is list of early 20th Century imagism poets; William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, D.H. Lawrence, Amy Lowell, and others.)
