This Is Just To Say Poem by Luis Jimenez
This Is Just To Say
I have flushed
my ring
that we got
at the carrousel gift shop
and your Promise
is in the trash
where it always
should have been
My apologies
I was upset
that you had failed me
again.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
After listening to This American Life #354 "Mistakes Were Made" (act two)I was instructed to create my own "spoof/take" on the Imagist poem, This Is Just To Say by William Carlos Williams.
The final product is what became known to me as, The Promise. Using, This Is Just To Say as an inspiration for my poem allowed me to tell a simple short story that I am sure many might relate to.I find joy in hearing other's version of this poem, and would love to hear yours!
