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

from what i have read he was a doctor by profession. the poem was probably a note to his wife when he came home from a late night call. it is amusing. it really comes alive when you think about it being for his wife. it is simplistic but it has the nuances of the communication between loved ones. i think it is so amazing how it is so simplest but has so much depth. you can read it as funny, ha i ate your plums! you can read it as a daily communication. you can read it as a love note. to break down the symbolism it becomes quite intimate. he ate her plums that were so juicy and sweet.
i hope this was not too annoying. i just love this poem so i have read up on it.

Yay, finally someone who 'gets' my avatar/look.

Emos seem to think they invented eyeliner.

Are you into glam and 70s music?
