Nuts and Blots Poetry

So this week's lecture was on simple poetry that deals with everyday topics. I recalled a poem that a teacher used to refer to constantly within class, during lecture and have found it and have posted it below.

Its not a long poem which makes me think that it may be an epigram, which I have found a number of definitions for. Some definitions include: a) an inscription of verse on a tomb or a coin, b) a short poem appearing at the start of a longer poem and c) a short humerous poem written in couplets used to make a satiric point. I'm not sure if it really is an epigram but here it is anyway:

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

Hope that the silliness of the poem brought a smile to your face! Any ideas on whether that is an epigram or not?
