Every great literacy work has a higher order meaning. The theme of this
poem really lies in the last 2 lines. The ending means 'so sweet and yet so
cold'. Could it be that the receiver of the note has been 'saving' the
forbidden fruit', which is a common biblical image in western literature?

today,we have an exam about this poem.i wrote this on my paper,the author's
condition is very poor he had to eat the plums satisfied him hungry....i
found sometimes my imagination is too well i take it too seriously,after
read it several times,i get a better thinking.the author just can not
resist the sweet of the plums despite he knew he was wrong if he enjoy
it,but somehow he did.jsut like sometimes we indulge ourselves too,even we
know .....

It's simply a beautiful poem and has been one of my favorites for years.
Out of all the poetry I've read over the years, I can remember very few,
but this one and The Red Wheelbarrow, are vivid in mind after all these
years. That must mean something about good writing.

to the commentor who suggested that this is the perfect exemplar of why all
poetry sucks, i wonder if you could try to look to the relationship
suggested by those simple words. it tells of two whole lives, if you are
willing to imagine them. the speaker who's sly and sweet, and gets his way
because of his ability with words. the "you" in the poem, wife, or
roommate, or whomever, who is perhaps happily resigned to life with someone
as gifted and selfish as the speaker. at least he's grateful. he loved
the plums so much he wrote poetry about them. it'd be too hard to stay mad
at a guy like that. besides, Williams was writing at the same time as guys
like T.S. Eliot whose best works were written in four and five different
languages (all in one poem.) this guy, in contrast, was trying to show
little corners of life that were simple, but significant. and he used
simple but significant words to get that across. congrats on your poetry
award. may you live to deserve it.
