This Is Just To Say--about eating the plums in the refrigerator and how delicious they were.
Red Wheel Barrel and Just to Say are two poems he wrote.
William Carlos Williams' poem "This Is Just To Say" is a short confessional poem written in free verse. It conveys a sincere, apologetic tone as the speaker confesses to eating plums that were likely meant for someone else. The poem is known for its simplicity and honesty.
William Carlos Williams' poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" is written in free verse, which means it does not follow a specific meter or rhyme scheme. The poem consists of just 16 words divided into 8 lines, emphasizing simplicity and clarity in its imagery.
He is just telling the owner of the plums that he has eaten them. "This is just to say... I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox." It is almost like he is leaving a note on the fridge-- "Out of milk." However, it is infinitely more poetic.
He wrote several poems about plums. The most famous is this: This Is Just To Sayby William Carlos Williams I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold
William Carlos Williams suggested that poetry is like a machine because he believed that a poem should be well-crafted, precise, and efficient in its use of language. Just like a machine performs a specific function with precision, a poem should work to convey its message effectively without unnecessary words or ornamentation. Williams emphasized the importance of clarity and simplicity in poetry, akin to the functionality of a well-designed machine.
Critically, he's best known for a huge, 5-volume poem called Paterson (named after the city in New Jersey), but many more people are probably familiar with "This is just to say" (which begins "I have eaten/the plums..."), a simple, brief poem which appears in many schoolbooks and has been much parodied and imitated.He is also well known for the following poem, which has also been often anthologized and analyzed:The Red Wheelbarrowso much dependsupona red wheelbarrowglazed with rainwaterbeside the whitechickens.
The modernist tendency towards using concrete language in poetry involves focusing on specific, tangible details rather than abstract concepts. In "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams, the use of concrete language such as "I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox" demonstrates this emphasis on literal, sensory imagery over abstract ideas. This technique creates a vivid and immediate experience for the reader, characteristic of modernist poetry.
