Journal 18
The poem I have decided to analyze for this post is entitled," This Is Just to Say." The author is not listed in the book. This poem is very short, but the short length of this poem leaves the door open for it to have many different meanings. The most peculiar part of the poem is the word this is in the title I believe that the meaning of the word could be the poem itself. The person who ate the plums in the ice box is using poetry to tell people she ate them. I enjoyed this poem because it was a nice easy poem that was not too difficult to understand. The author stole someones breakfast and used poetry to take some tension off of the situation. Overall, it was a nice piece of poetry!

Eric, the poem is in a section of Chapter 13 devoted to William Carlos Williams. His name is identified at the beginning of the section, not after each poem. You might find the short excerpts from interviews with him interesting, as well.
