This Is Just to Say... Poem & Poster

Using William Carlos Williams' poem, below, as a guide, create your own "apology" poem.

Preserve Williams' three four-line stanzas, the anaphora (repetition of "so") at the end, and his tone. Write your poem on a single sheet paper and include a classroom-appropriate image (the subject matter of your poem must be classroom-appropriate, as well).

You are not limited to changing just the words in boldface below, but they are the most likely.

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

      —by William Carlos Williams
