William Carlos Williams 'The Note On The Fridge'
The Note on the Fridge We all know that sometimes it is the simple things that make more of a difference. William Carlos Williams set a prime example in his free verse poem: “This Is Just to Say”. Written in 1934, this simple and apologetic note was more than likely left for his wife before leaving for work. While being upset at the fact her husband ate her morning meal, I am sure she could not help but smile after reading his slightly amusing 28-word poem. In the first stanza, Williams’ states his main purpose for writing this modest poem. He proudly claims that “… [he has] eaten the plums/ that were in/ the icebox” (line 1-4), which would be more than enough to get just about anyone upset today. We also begin with Williams’ use of enjambment

    Summary Of Blackberries By Yusef Komunyakaa

    “They left my hands like a printer’s/Or thief’s before a police blotter” (1-2). This creates a clear image of his hands stained purple, in every nook and crease on his hand. The first two stanzas are all about explaining and creating the blackberries. “Terrestrial sweetness, so thick”(4), adds the depiction of the berries forcing the reader to now taste the thick, sweet juice that invades when biting into a freshly picked berry. “I ate the mythology & dreamt Of pies & cobbler, almost/Needful as forgiveness”(11-13). This now adds a stronger taste in adding the words pie and cobbler since it is commonly known as dessert. However, “almost Needful as forgiveness”, gives the impression that the narrator is holding out for forgiveness, as if he needs to be forgiven for something unseen in his…

    Analyzing Simon Armitage's Poem 'Gooseberry Season'

    The narrator opens the poem with, “Which reminds me”. This line tells us that there was an incident or a phrase that triggered his nostalgia as he wants to tell us a story that has gooseberries involved. We are later informed that the victim gives a recipe for a gooseberry sorbet. This makes the narrator look like a vulgar man as his nostalgia got triggered by the memory that he has of the victim and how he wanted to tell us the story of how the victim died, the memory was the gooseberry sorbet.…

    Kinnell's Attraction To Blackberry

    In this poem, Kinnell demonstrates a profound metaphoric relationship between the tangible objects of blackberries, and the intangible objects of words. He feels an attraction to blackberries such as with taste, touch, and appearance. That notion is supported throughout the poem. For example, line 7 states the following: "Lifting the stalks to my mouth, the ripest berries," illustrating his love for the taste of delectable fruits.…

    Summary Of Robert Frost's Mending Wall

    The reason for beginning with Frost’s poem from the literal stance is to establish a foundation in which symbols are used as metaphors. “Mending Wall,” is literally after winter when the speaker and his neighbor repair the wall. A wall which was damaged by unseen nature and hunters. As they repair the wall the speaker questions the reason why the neighbor wants the wall repaired. He infers that their trees are different and produce opposite things. Even though, the speaker internally questions why the neighbor wants to keep this wall amid them, he wonders if he can cause the neighbor to question his own ideas about the wall. He does not act on this thought instead he continues to walk down the wall rebuilding it from his side, as the neighbor does the same.…

    Analysis of "The Tropics in New York" by Claude McKay

    The poem starts with McKays somewhat cheerful description of luscious tropical fruits: Bananas ripe and green, and ginger-root, / Cocoa in pods and alligator pears, (lines 1-2). At this point, the reader is not sure what path this poem will take. Lines 5 and 6, Set in the window, bringing memories/ Of fruit-trees laden by low-singing rills, cause the reader to detect a sense of melancholy in McKays words. These two lines along with line 7, And dewy dawns, and mystical blue skies, combine to create an idyllic image of his lost paradise. This image contrasts heavily with his present surroundings in New York City. It becomes clear in lines 9 and 10, My eyes grew dim, and I could see no more gaze; A wave of longing through my body swept, that the speaker is reminiscing and longing for a time and a place in his past; a place that seems unattainable to him now. By lines 11 and 12, And, hungry for the old, familiar ways, / I turned aside and bowed my head and wept, the reader understands completely why he has become overcome by grief. The grief is so strong that it brings him to tears due to a sense of hunger, not for the various fruits, but hunger for his native country.…

    Acquainted With The Night Analysis

    The speaker of this poem is very forsaken. We have no idea why he walks around at night but when he passes the watchman it’s almost like he has tunnel vision not even bothering to acknowledge him. Maybe he is walking home work or a party, it’s hard to tell. All we really can see about this man, by the voice of this poem is that he is very unhappy. This poem was written in first person using “I.” The voice in OO is powerful and Frost used a bunch of personification to grab the reader's attention. One example he used was “as if to prove saws knew what supper meant, leaped out at the boy’s hand.” He made the gave the saw human characteristics as if he actually leaped out at the hand.…

    An Analysis of Stealing by Carol Ann Duffy

    The poem starts with a rhetorical question, "The most unusual thing I ever stole?" This question seems like it's been repeated to oneself after hearing the same question which shows the imperfection of the start of the poem. This uncertainty reflects the one Duffy had lived in those times where there was a lot of social unrest poll tax riots, the miner's strike and race riots. Right after the question comes the answer, "A snowman" which makes the reader little shocked because It is worth nothing. However this evinces that the economic conditions in that era was so bad that even stealing worthless things meant an achievement. The thief is so lonely that he wants a snowman as a mate which builds a compassion between the reader until the use of negative connotations in the next line. "With a mind as cold as the slice of ice within my own brain." suggests that this thief is psychologically disturbed and lacks compassion from the comparison of him and an inanimate object. This is due to life's difficulties and the adversities of unemployment. Throughout the first stanza, the sentences are short and full of caesuras. This depicts the thiefs state of mind where the pauses show the confusion and chaos in her mind which doesn't let her be able to think properly.…

    The Red Wheel Barrow & This Is Just to Say

    Another element that is strongly evident in the poems is imagery. In The Red Wheelbarrow the reader can vividly picture the red wheelbarrow, glazing in the rain, next to the white chickens; the poet uses the sense of sight when describing the subjects of the poem. Within This is Just to Say William uses several forms of imagery. As the reader begins to read, a picture is already being painted in their head; the reader can see the “plums that were in the icebox”. The reader can even taste the “sweet” plums, and feel the “cold” plums. This imagery allows the reader to imagine the poems. When the…

    'A Black Man Talks of Reaping': Figure of Speech, Irony and Characterization

    Metaphor is the tool Bontemps uses in his poem. For instance, “Wind or fowl” (line 3) metaphorically refers to white race who are every where and can take the profit of African American race away like a wind blows grains away or like a bird intends to steal seeds of a farmer by pecking them away. Therefore, “the grain” (line 3) represents the speaker’s benefit that he gets from his hard work and effort, as the same as the word “reaping” in line 7. The “seed” (line 6) means his hard work to improve black people’s life. He dedicates so much like he scatters seed throughout the land with the hope of its bountiful output: the better life of the blacks. This has a similar meaning to the word “orchard” (line 9) in the last stanza. “Bitter fruits” (line 12) refers to what his children get from those seed he has planted: worthless outcome the future generation gets as a result of his dedicating work. It is the rancor like what he has got for all his life. As a whole poem, he compares the plantation of black slaves to their bitterness they face due to the white people.…

    Love Poem with toast

    Williams through the use of imagery reveals how humans live their lives always wanting something with a greater purpose. Williams starts the poem with “…the alarm to wake us up, the coffee to perc, and the car to start” with this he describes how people have a start to them but everything that has a start has an end. He then goes on to say “With yes and no like the poles of a battery” this represents the positive and negative experiences people have throughout their lives. Williams says in the third stanza “… wanting to be wanted, wanting not to lose the rain forest, wanting the water to boil, wanting not to have cancer, wanting to be home before dark, wanting not to run out of gas” what each of these “wants” represent is a period of time in which humans experience different feelings. When he says “wanting to be home by dark” he creates an image of an old man wanting to make sure he is content with the life he has lived before he passes away. He eludes to this by saying in the next line “wanting not to run out of gas” which means that people don’t want to leave because people believe there will always be something greater for them in this life. Williams’s use of imagery in the poem really shows humans struggle with the time they are given in their lives.…

    William Carlos Williams

    Through many of his poems, William Carlos Williams presents the reality of poverty among a great portion of the American society. Within Williams’ work of Selected Poems, he not only reveals the trapped lifestyle of those living in poverty, but he also represents the horror of the war between social classes along with the coinciding war on the poor. Williams’ use of plutonic images among these poems provides powerful meaning to his argument of American societal values, claiming the men of America to be wealth seeking and those who fail to find wealth are of less importance. In contrast to this, Williams also uses his poems as a voice for the poor, asserting their lifestyle of simplicity and revealing the value they see in objects wealthy America disregards. Through his work of Selected Poems, William Carlos Williams brings about the harsh reality of what America has become and views it as a betraying place, a place not living up to its promise of equality and opportunity. He represents the imagination of those longing to find something better in life for themselves in a world that is not solely made up of subliminal beauty, regardless of what it may seem. He fixates on the unwillingness of America as a nation to change what it has become and societies lack of concern and motivation to assert this change.…

    William Wordsworth's the Prelude

    William Wordsworth (1770-1850) completed two main versions of his autobiographical epic poem The Prelude, the original version in 1805, and a revised version which was published in 1850. The 1805 version is the one usually studied, and usually considered the better of the two, being more melodic and spontaneous than the more laboured version of 1850. In this essay I shall be discussing the 1805 version, with one or two references to differences in the 1850 version.…

    Symbolism In This Is Just To Say

    The poem I decided to analyze about was "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. One of the major symbolism that was first brought to my attention were the saved plums from the icebox. The plums were probably someone else’s favorite breakfast fruit but instead the main character ate them. Thus, without giving any warning to who they were initially saved for. The main character could not contain their temptations on eating the plums. And in result, those saved plums were delicious and sweet. This brought to the conclusion that the major symbolism revolved around regretful actions and forgiveness. Whoever those plums were going to be saved for will never know who ate them. The “This is Just to Say” poem has spoken to me in so many emotional…
