July 6, 2023Light Hearted William
Light hearted William twirled
his November moustaches
and, half dressed, looked
from the bedroom window
upon the spring weather.
Heigh-ya! sighed he gaily
leaning out to see
up and down the street
where a heavy sunlight
lay beyond some blue shadows.
Into the room he drew
his head again and laughed
to himself quietly
twirling his green moustaches.

He is known for his use of everyday language and for his experiments with form and style. His most famous works include "Spring and All" and "The Red Wheelbarrow." Williams was also a mentor to many younger poets, including Allen Ginsberg.
