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

---- William Carlos Williams

_________________________________
This is Just to Say
I gave away the money
that you had been
saving to live on
for the next ten years.
The man who asked for it was shabby
and the firm March wind on the porch
was so juicy
and cold.

This is Just to Say
I have pulled the
Pin from that grenade
On the desk.
Forgive me.
I thought it was
My keyring,
And

__________ My favorite...
This is Just to Say
I have killed the wizard
in your novel
and whose death you were probably
saving
for book 7
Forgive me
he had it coming
so beardy
and so old.

____ So I wrote one too.
This is Just to Say

I have towed
the car
that was parked in
front of your house

and which
you were probably
intending
to drive to work in the morning

Forgive me
it was a
snow emergency
and so cold
