This is Just to Say

Here are poems based upon William Carlos Williams poem "The is Just to Say."


This Is Just to Say

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

As I get in the water
I feel as though
I was a lightning bolt.
Shooting through the water
as fast as I can go.
Racing to the end
just as I get in.

I have taken
the money
that was in
your purse

and which
you were probably
saving
for gum

Forgive me
they were velvety
so unique
and so lonely

I have stolen
the mud pie
that was in
the freezer

and which you were probably
saving
for Peter

Forgive me
it was so addictive
so chocolaty
and so delicious.

I have taken
the capers
that were in
the fridge

and which
you were probably
saving
for yourself.

Forgive me
they were delicious
so salty
and so pickled.

the chocolate
that was in the bowl

I am nothing
void, shapeless
uncolored.
Always moving
never stopping.
No eye can find me.
No creature can touch me
I don’t have a figure
I don’t have voice.
But I have a hand
for without a hand
I could not write this poem.

I am a rainbow
changing colors with my mood.
I turn yellow when I get something.
I turn gray when I lose privileges.
I turn all colors when I don’t know what to do.
I appear after the dark gray sky
shining all my bright colors
to cheer up people after the gray sky
