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

Purple- Symbol
Red- Taste Imagery
Blue- Metaphor

The poem I have found is called "This is just to say" and is by William Carlos Williams. In this poem there is lots of imagery. There is some taste imagery, it says "they were delicious, so sweet and so cold." There is sight imagery for example the plums were in the icebox, this is positioning. Also there was a symbol, it says "which you were probably saving for breakfast" I think this symbolises not thinking about the consequences of your actions. Overall I think the message of this poem is to think before you act.
