“Poppies in October” is a mixture of beauty, gruesomeness, and admiration.
I think it was intended to describe the beauty of poppies, but to also show
you that the little things in life are the most beautiful, and Sylvia Plath
described them in a bitter sweet way. That is what I got from this poem; a
sense of beauty and bitterness that the poppies provided for Plath. To
know that she could look at something this simple and write something so
exquisite about it, is amazing. She inspires me, just as the poppies
inspired her. You should cherish the small things in life, because you
never know when your life might end.
