“This is just to say”
William Carlos Williams
Plum Series
Inspired by William Carlos Williams's poem "This is just to say." I have always loved this poem as it speaks to the forbidden fruit, forgiveness, and taunting of a loved one. It is a bit impish with childish playfulness. Just saying - sorry not sorry.
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
