(Apologies to William Carlos Williams)
This is just to say
That I dropped the sky
And left the sun
Lying in the snow.
Forgive me,
It was so very
Heavy
And no-one seemed to notice
Until everything started to
Melt.

Excellent, succinct, thought provoking and slightly amusing too.
Gave me a great laugh. I think you need no apologies. You got right to the point which is nice. I can't seem to do that.
Hey, nice ! Very good use of the verse. It gave i think a bitter-sweet direction to the poem. And a nice ending.
We should do a joint poem one day.
Anyway, great job.
Thanks for this short verse. To the point and full of irony...
