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 enjoy this poem every time that I read it because it makes me laugh every time that I read it do to the sarcasm. This poem is constructed of three stanzas each containing 4 lines with a total of 12 lines. This poem really paints a great picture in my head when I'm reading this, all I see is a person who is eating these plums who were for someone else and as they are finishing them they are writing this note and leaving it by the empty box of plums for the other person to see. From the poem I got that there is some kind of loving relationship between the person who wrote the note and the person who the plums were for. We can note from the description of the plums that the one who ate the plums were not for him/her but s/he know that they would not care to much. In a way the note almost seems like the person who at the plums is getting back at the other person because of how sarcastic they wrote the note! There really is no correct answer but I just like the idea of this poem because it pulls out my since of humor in a way because I see myself doing that.
