My Papa's Waltz...

 Sorry its late I didn't know how to do it the first week of school.

                  I feel like that in the poem the father is a drunk but your not suppose to fear him because he is a caring man. The kid in the poem loved his father no matter if he abused him or came home drunk; The last stanza says "you beat time on my head with a palm caked hard by dirt, then waltzed me off too bed still clinging to your shirt".  My favorite line in the poem was "but i hung on like death, such waltzing was not easy' this to me was the boy saying no matter what you do I won't give up on you and I will always love you.;

Grocery Store

The speaker in the poem, "This is just to say," the speaker is the person who eat the plumbs and he or she is talking to the owner of the plumbs.  I think that there relationship is pretty good, but he or she messed up and did something they were not supposed to do.  There relationship seams pretty good someone just messed up one time.Their personality seams pretty nice and good because he was had apologized right after the plumbs were eaten. The plumbs might have related to how they act towards each other.

I went
and
bought
some food
from the
grocery store

And then
I ate all the
food from the
grocery store

Now i don't
have any food
from the
grocery store

Don't Eat Apples!

I love this poem and think it's so funny! Sounds like something my little brother would tell me: "Hi Indi! Just wanted you to know that I ate those frozen blueberries you were saving, but I knew you wouldn't mind because you love me more than you love blueberries, right?" It seems that the relationship in this poem is similar to mine with my brother Zac. The casualty and bluntness of the writing (or speaking) is so similar to how siblings communicate. Note how he apologizes for eating the plums, only to then remind the other how incredibly delicious the plums were. I think this poem is meant to be taken for what it is... simple and straightforward. In my mind, Williams (writing from a young boy's perspective) has eaten his sister's plums and left her a note on the freezer before slipping off to school. He simply couldn't resist and knew that his sister would eventually forgive him. Therefore, he didn't bother to worry much about it.

I Apologize I Just Want to Eat FRUIT (by Indigo Crandell):

I wanted this
morning
to eat a crisp apple

but I can't have
sugar so I
ate plain yogurt

So if I see you
and you're eating
an apple

You may get to
see my more
emotional
side

This Plum Joke is Pitiful

I believe the plum could be a metaphor for something in the character's lives. Could be that the person who "ate the plums" cheated in marriage and attempts to justify or rationalize their decision by explaining how "delicious", "sweet" and "cold" the "plums" were. Or perhaps, and this might be groundbreaking, the plums actually refer to plums. I know, pretty drastic claim but bear with me. The author mentions the fruit in the first line, and throughout the poem the author uses food like references to them. Perhaps it is meant to be taken entirely literally. To me the character who ate the plums knew they would get away with it. They knew the plums were being saved yet ate them anyway. Especially with the one line apology, seems to me they knew they would be forgiven and all would be well. Almost like a child...speaking to a parent.

My turn:

I'm sorry

I am sorry
That I am right
And you are wrong

I am more
Educated on this such matter

You opinion is invalid
I am sorry

How about them plums?

I think the narrator must be very close to the other person in the poem. Considering they not only felt comfortable with eating the other person's food out of their fridge, but also woke up before them to do so, heavy implying they live together. This feeling of familiarity is only strengthened by the poem's brevity and almost complete lack of punctuation and capitalization, which give it the feeling of a note left behind. The way the apology at the end is imminently followed  by a description of the how good the plums taste makes me think the narrator isn't very sincere, but when combined with the feeling of closeness mentioned before makes me think of two siblings stealing each others food. 

And now for my attempt at a poem:

Sailing by Kaitlyn McGuire

I remember

when we were

little and we

would sit

on the beach

and talk

of us

sailing away together

I remember

when we were

teens and we

argued over a

dumb little thing

and as I

fought I thought

of us

sailing away together

I remember

when I was

older and I

sat in the

rain alone

and I dreamed

of us

sailing away together

I remember

when you called

and you said

I could go

sail away

and it hurt

because It was

never about

the boat

Sorry not sorry

When I read this poem it reminded me so much of the many conversations I've had with my brother about stealing each others food. Although it sounds like the speaker is apologizing, I don't think she is actually apologizing at all. I think she is rubbing it in the face of the person who was saving them. It is like when Josh eats something I've been saving and then he says "well, I got here first but it tasted amazing". And then when the speaker says forgive me she continues to rub it in her companions face by letting them know how delicious it was.
heres my attempt:

This is just
to say that
I set your
house on fire

And which
you were
probably
saving to live in

Forgive me
I simply don't
know what
I'm doing

Sorry I never
liked you
that much
anyway

I mean..yeah...

First of all, I thought this poem was hilarious. I thought it was funny that it sounded like the speaker was not sorry at all for eating the plum. I liked how it sounded like they were gloating that they got to eat it before the other person. By talking about it being "delicious" and "so cold", the speaker was totally throwing it in the poor plumless person's face! I don't really know what the relationship is, but I feel like it is between siblings. This is such a "Cook Family Fiasco" to happen between my siblings and me.

Alright, here I go with my poem:

You Crusty by me

I hope you know that
it was rude when you said that

Disney was dumb because
you are uneducated

I think you should be kind
so I don't fight lol

As my friend would say,
"You are CRUSTY!"
