Poems based on “The Red Wheelbarrow” and “This is Just to Say”by William Carlos Williams

by Jonathan Kraft

———————————————————————————————-

So much depends on

Parents
What they are
Is what you become

family
Whose support is
always wanted; sometimes needed

friends
That are told things
that others do not know

people
Choosing to do right
in the face of wrong

———————————————————————————————-
This is Just to Say
I have borrowed
the change
that was on
your dresser
and which
you were probably
saving
for an emergency.

Forgive me
I needed it
to make a phone call
to Mom and Dad
