This is Just to Say

this is just to say 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 is just to say...what?

So, I solely chose this poem because it was so simple...? It is confusing me how simple it is.
I feel like there is some crazy, metaphorical deeper meaning that I should pick out, but i think it is just about...eating plums that didn't belong to the writer?

Can I be a poet now? I'm pretty sure I can write something like this...unless I am toally missing the point.

There is much more I can say about the content of the poem, it is like an apologetic note you leave on the kitchen counter for eating something in the fridge you knew belonged to someone else.

I guess I can talk about the structure, which is also very simple. The poem is three stanzas and there are four lines each. There is no rhyme scheme or rhythm. I noticed the second stanza is not capitalized, but I'm pretty sure that is because it is part of a sentence.

I think that about covers it...
