A not so sorry poem
I was listening to This American Life episode about non-apologetic apologies and they mentioned a famous poem called “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
Many poets have written their spoof on it so I decided to try it too. This is a first. I can’t remember ever writing or even trying to copy a poem before.
I gave you
the dirty cup
that was in
the dishwasher
in which I poured
your coffee
this morning
SORRY
it wasn’t that dirty
just a green something
and I was so lazy
