i don't understand why you all feel the need to make it into a love story.
why can't it just be a guy apoligizing? i don't take like he's actually
sorry for eating the plums he's just apoligizing in a sing-song kind of
voice because it's better than not apoligizing at all.

i think this poem is to show that he is sorry for what he has done. because
what he had done was not right. so he is apologizing to someone he hurted.!

everyone who says this poem sucks is just showing how sorry they are for
themselves for not being able to express how they feel using simple words
and have it come out so beautiful.
having said that, I love this poem.

I think the poem is based on Fruedian theory. The plums which were being
saved for breakfast are really a womens virginity (she was saving it for
marrage). He apologizes for taking her virginity by asking for forgiveness.
It was "so sweet and so cold" because as a virgin it felt so good to him
but at the same time so cold because he took something she was saving. Her
virginity was something only one man could have.

Well I totally disagree with the eating thing and I the poem is totally
metaphoric and symbolic though very simple words were usued. I don't think
it conveys pain at all, he's merely apologizing to his wife/lover in a nice
way.

I think this poem is about a pain because no one eat plum for breakfast .
there is nothing to eat . Because he is hungry he took the plum without
permetion

i believe this poem to be an apology from one lover to another. The
meaning to this poem is hidden beneath the simple words which Williams uses
very specifically. He is clearing his conscience, confessing he made a
mistake but has no regrets about doing what he did.

i think it is an appolagize for a partner,but not as simple as it looks.i
think it is full of a big regression that floods out of its words.
