Poem response to "This is just to say"

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

This poem was a very interesting one. The first thing that stood out to me is the length. The poem so short yet still has a hidden meaning to it. When first reading the title, the first thing that came across my mind is that maybe this poem was not really written for a reason and so it was written for no reason at all. It is simply saying that the speaker in the poem ate the plums and someone who lives with the speaker (could maybe be his wife) was saying the plums for breakfast. The speaker as for this person to forgive them and he explains that they were so good that he just could not resist.
When reading this poem, I felt like I was reading a poem that a elementary school student wrote. But to be honest, even as a child I would of never wrote a poem as simple as this. I feel like these are one of the poems that just comes to you when it comes. This is the sort of poem that you just write whatever comes to your head, and there it is. You don't force it to have a particular form. You just want it to sound pleasing to the ear and what it was really meant to be which is a response that comes from total honest to a moment in time.
However, this poem does set a theme of choices in which he has a choice to make and he knew what was right or wrong. The fruit that he ate did not belong to him but he ate it anyway and he basically followed his conscience. He felt guilty for eating the plum which is why he feels the need to explain why he ate it.
