This Is Just To Say

This Is Just To Say

(William Carlos Williams)

spasi

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

spasi

and which

you were probably

saving

for breakfast

spasi

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold

spasi

Okay, I just got this poetry in my literature class. And though my lecturer said that this poem was so simple (and open interpretation too), I interpret this very different, and I thought it was too far. But, honestly, that interpretation went along with my recent feeling. Yeah, I want to ask for forgiveness to one of my best friend, because I took away your "plum, which you were probably saving for breakfast". I know I regret that, but as last stanzas says, I enjoy it too, which add my burden, especially when seeing you!
