This poem is neither deep nor good. Poetry sucks. I wrote the stupidest
poem ever and was a Regional Winner in the National Poetry Contest. Just
goes to show you that people need to get a hold of themselves.

Went looking for this poem on line yesterday after a staff member left a
bag of cookies in our lounge with a simple note that read "These are fig
newtons. Enjoy." Reminded me of this poem.....

This poem is a very simple love poem, and like all WCW poems, he sets the
picture in the minds of the reader. YOu can see him going to the fridge,
eating the plums, then remembering they were his wife's plums. Then he sits
down at the kitchen table, lifts a pen and a napkin and writes his apology
in the best way he knows.... a poem. A simple love poem.
To Brodie Bruce: you may say "why cant i be famous for writing something
like that?" Well the fact is, you didn't write it. WCW pushes the boundries
of language in his poetry, and most poets are too scared to do that. It's
like there's some invisible way to write poetry, and there's not. I mean,
if you wrote something truely from the heart, not worrying about the
apparent way poetry should be written I have no doubt you'd be famous for
it.

This might be Williams'own way of differentiating his poems and setting
among other American poets. Americans don't eat plums for break fast.Where
goes cherriors, milk, french toast?.He has travelled and look at things
different.Howver he might have eaten plums that were reserved for breakfast
by his partner and which is something he loves.That could be his own way of
letting her know she better figure out something else for breakfast.

I think this poem is about the person's greed and selfishness and how after
thinking about it, he is sorry for what he did. He took the plums even
though they belonged to someone else.. I'm not sure I find this poet quite
confusing..

I am doing an assignment for literature where I had to choose three
Williams' poems and analyze and describe the meaning. I enjoy reading
Williams. His poems gives visual pictures while you are reading which makes
easier to analyze. This is a great one.

WEIRD!!! i was assigned to do a report on Williams. I cant figure him out.
but why cant i be famous for writing something like that? first come first
surve i guess. i think that maybe theres something in his poems that he
doesnt say, but what he doesnt say could make everything make sence. maybe
he left it up to us to put in the missing link. its a mystery. we'll never
know what he was thinking when he wrote

I found the poem to have a deeper meaning than what you see on the page. I
feel that the speaker is not only apologizing for the eaten plums, but for
all of the wrongful things he has done to his spouse. I sincerely hoped for
him to come home that afternoon with a bagful of plums fresh out of an
icebox!
