William Carlos Williams - 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

we've done an analysis regarding this poem in my literature lecture class. and its about how the persona actually is having an affair and trying to tell reader about what he has done, even to the owner of 'the plum'. the plum might symbolizes the woman's private part.. but take note; he isnt regret of what he has done. as he enjoy what he's done -- last sentence proved it.
