Question:

This is just to say poem?

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


Can you guy make a poem like that?

Here's my

I have taken
your bicycle
that were in
the garage

and which
you were probably
going
to school

Forgive me
it was available
so fast
and so stylish.

It's dumb. I know I know. Can you guys make a poem that has more emotion. But it has to be something that is tangible....

That's why it's hard

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

To come forth, to you
Only to you I speak
In an effort, to grasp
At the longing strings
Of your heart.

And taking hold
With emotionally charged desires
I find my fingers
Reaching for, clutching at
The emptiness of air.

Where have you hidden
Since you've asked me to come
Forth to your biddings
I gave my all, to your
Foreboding call, to be simply...left alone.
