MEZZO FORTE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: TAKE THAT, DAMN YOU; AND THAT
Last Line: IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOU WILL BE A CAT.
Subject(s): WOMEN – ABUSED;
Take that, damn you; and that!
And here's a rose
To make it right again!
God knows
I'm sorry, Grace; but then,
It's not my fault if you will be a cat.
