Entry 5

This Is Just to Say

            From the way William Carlos Williams names title of this poem, I guessed he just want to say something simple in the poem since the title is “This Is Just to Say”. I felt interesting when I saw the length of the poem because there are only 27 words. It is about the author eating the plums that someone saves for the breakfast. However, I read it many times and it seems not so bright as it looks, but unfortunately, I do not understand what Williams is trying to say in the poem. I like the length of the poem which is extreme short and I dislike the meaning that is hidden under the fact that the author eats someone’s plums. I would like to recommend this poem to a friend, because it is short and I need someone to explain the meaning of the poem to me.
