This is just to say Summary and Analysis

Summary

William Carlos Williams primarily practiced medicine and pediatrics. He was a poet from the United States who used modernism and imagism in his work.

He also wrote short stories, novels, plays, essays, and a poem. He worked as a doctor and wrote well. He was good at keeping an eye out for things and could write simple words about nature. He generally liked to notice the little things and wanted to demonstrate that, sonnets are not from creative mind, but rather could be expounded on straightforward things in basic Language.

The poem "This is just to say" is a short one that basically says nothing particularly significant. However, if we pause to read, the poet is attempting to apologize to someone else for his actions. He is demonstrating in a polite manner that, despite having committed a wrongdoing, he is sorry for it and could not resist the temptation.

The poet in the poem This is just to say says that when he saw some plums in an icebox when he was in a friend's room, in a meeting, or even at home, he just couldn't resist the way they looked, and the urge to eat them kept making him want to have one.

He paints a picture in this first stanza of the temptation he faces when he sees something he likes that he can't avoid. He is going through something like a testing phase.

However, in the second stanza, he agrees that he takes the plums because he was tempted by their beauty and knew that the owner might use them to save money for breakfast or any meal of the day. He is sorry for what he did, but he just couldn't stop himself, so he happily eats all the bumps.

He apologizes for his behavior in the third stanza. Even though he was aware that the plums in the icebox were meant for someone else to eat, he took them and ate them. He felt bad about himself, so he left a note explaining his actions and why he had fallen for them. They were both so cold and sweet. After all, who could resist the irresistible sweetness and cold of plums?

In this poem, the poet has sweetly but convincingly described his action and solution. Even though he was aware that the plums belonged to someone else, he gave in to the temptation and, once he had it, showed basic courtesy by asking for the owner's forgiveness.

A straightforward poem with a lot of ideas that can be gained and learned from thoughtful reflection. Despite the fact that Williams was a writer known for his creative mind and straightforwardness, he could place the everyday exercises and deed into idyllic organization for individuals to figure out the worth of ethics and have a decent existence.

A magnificent sonnet put in straightforward language and organization is what's genuinely going on with this sonnet.

Analysis

"This Is Just To Say" is a brief snapshot of a poem, 37 syllables, 28 words, and three stanzas.

It's tempting to jump right into the poem because the title reads like a first line. You'll have finished reading almost immediately, perfectly capturing the brief burst of energy that inspired the poem in the first place.

However at that point there's a need to step back. Even though the poem and the note are very brief and appear to be some kind of personal confession (actual husband to wife), there is a lot more going on than just the immediate area.

Who might the speaker be pleading guilty to? It could be a friend, a partner, or a lover, not necessarily a wife. Could the plums—fresh, sweet, and delectable—serve as a metaphor for love and sexual activity? Or a desire?

In his poems, Williams wanted to be free of restraint; he didn't care about line after line of iambs, trochees, pentameter, tetrameter, or other such restrictive devices. This disturbed a portion of different writers at that point yet others invited the split away from the exhausting rhymed lines of formal show.

"This Is Simply To Say" is a scrap of homegrown news that ultimately became a web sensation because of the curtness, plain language and novel way to deal with structure and line. It was expected for only one individual yet is widespread in its allure.
