Poetry Superhighway April 2023 Poems

Never apologize for falling in love with you

Never apologize for falling in love with you

I will never back down
I will never apologize
For daring to fall in love
With you

Ever since I met you
I have been enslaved
To your love

And for that,
I will never
Ever
Apologize

This is just said 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

William Carlos Williams, this is just to say” from the collected poems: volume I, 1909-1939, copyright ©1938 by new directions publishing corp.
Read Williams’ poem and think of what you might want to apologize for. It might be something you took without permission, something you said or did, something you wanted to do, but didn’t, etc. It could be serious or funny. Think about who you might send the poem to and if you will follow Williams’s style or create your own.
