From EN
“Choosing Shoes” Is at first about all of the convivial and exotic shoes; alien to a parent’s perspective of “good shoes”. This poem ends with the appalling truth, THEY wouldn't pick the buckle shoes, or bow shoes, neither little pointy toe shoes; That’s not the sort they’ll buy.
“This Is Just to Say” is about a hungry speaker who ate a few plums, which he thinks “you” were saving for breakfast. He asks for the "your" forgiveness; he could not resist. The plums were really yummy—sweet and cold, in the icebox, just waiting to be devoured.
Neither poem struck me as “awesome” but if I had to pick I would pick “Choosing Shoes” because the incredible rhyme scheme mesmerized me.

The poem, "This is Just to Say" is about, a really selfish man who didn't save any food for his family that was (maybe) poor. Although they were poor he ate the peaches any way. The poem, "Choosing Shoes" is about, a liitle girl who wants to buy a brand new pair of shoes. She doesn't know which ones to buy because there are so many of them (sounds like me). Then she chooses all of them! If I had to pick a poem between "This is Just to Say" or "Choosing Shoes" I would have to pick "Choosing Shoes". I like that poem because when ever I'm buying shoes there are so many i just can't pick. I also liked how she described all her shoes. I really liked how it rhymed!

The first poem This Is Just to Say is about a person who ate the plums from a ice cooler and is apologizing. Choose shoes is about a person who is explaining different kinds of shoes. I like the poem choosing shoes because I think it’s clever and I like the rhythm of it.
"This Is Just to Say" is about someone eating someone's plum, and the person probably got mad at them.
"Choosing Shoes" is about going out and buying new shoes any shapes and sizes.
I like "Choosing Shoes" better because it makes more sense to me, and it rhymes, Also I like going out and buying new shoes!!!
Dear Ms. Sikes,
I think "This Is Just to Say" is about a person that has done something wrong. They are sorry, but at the same time glad that they did it.
I think "Choosing Shoes" is trying to say that sometimes choices are hard, but you still have to make a choice.
I like "This Is Just to Say" better because sometimes I feel the same way. Like one time I stole some cookies, and when I got in trouble I was sorry. At the same time I was glad I did it because the cookies were tasty.
