A poem written by me and inspired by a poem by William Carlos Williams

This is just to say

I have picked too many dandelions

that went bad right away.

You probably would have liked it better if I had left them in the ground.

Forgive me.

They were so yellow

and there were so many.

William Carlos Williams originally wrote a letter to his wife in poetry form, that inspired this poem and many others.

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
