To a Poor Old Woman
By William Carlos Williams
munching a plum on  Â
the street a paper bag
of them in her hand
They taste good to her
They taste good  Â
to her. They taste
good to her
You can see it by
the way she gives herself
to the one half
sucked out in her hand
Comforted
a solace of ripe plums
seeming to fill the air
They taste good to her

This is the last of the inspired poem paintings I did, and probably my favorite one. It was fun interpreting the poems through painting rather than a written analysis.
