My last comment: Congratulations being chosen by Poem Hunter and Team as The Modern Poem Of The Day, of course these words go to the closest relatives of the late poet.
This is about temptation, guilt, and simple pleasures. The poet confesses to having sneakily eaten plums from an icebox, acknowledging that they were probably meant for breakfast. The poem is also about domestic relationships, forgiveness, and insincere apologies
I THOUGHT my comments I left here, but now none to see/read, okay, I will give once again my comment(s)
This Modern Poem Of The Day is about temptation, guilt, and simple pleasures.
My compliments for the late poet WCW. Also to his family. He was his time ahead. Nowadays we write poetry like this: not too long and not too short. Bravo WCW
I call this an Informative Poem. Excellently written, not too long and not to short.
This time Poem Hunter chose this attractive and full of delicious informations poem as The Modern Poem Of The Day. After having read this tasty poem, I get really taste in plums
This probably is a note that he left for his wife. She may have been saving those plums for something else! Efforts of busy people still trying to communicate!
Read a haiku, then looks at some paintings, understand some cognitive archeology, study a bit of buddhism, maybe throw in some hindu literature and you'll have an answser. but I we could be wrong.
The appeal to the senses is amazing. The reader is left to savor, colour, taste and the fleeting delight of a few plums which are cold and must have been sweet, he having eaten more than one.
if the author calls this a poem, i'd be curious to see what he'd serve me if i asked for a hamburger! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! bri
