this is just to say

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

I actually did something a couple days ago. I ate my sister's chips and she was pissed! Anyway I liked this poem because I feel that everyone can relate to it. Everyone has either eaten food that wasn't theirs or had theirs eaten by someone else.

The author didn't use any punctuation. The only reason I could tell there were two sentences was that the first word of the second was capitalized. There is three stanzas, each consisting of four lines. I kinda saw the stanzas as steps. The first one is like the author admitted to eating the plums, second realizing he made a mistake, and then the third is asking for forgiveness. So it is like some saying I did this and I realized it was wrong and I am sorry. That is kind of how I saw it.
