Stroy behind the poem - Meaning

1. Sounds
1. There is a clear repetition of the soft 't' sound in the poem with the beginning of the lines of the first stanza. Williams also keeps his lines short and around the same number of syllables for each line, around 3-4. Williams uses sound to create enjambment, so the reader follows the path laid out by the narrator who ate the plums. Williams has 4 lines in each stanza.
2. 2-3 Sentences in the poem
3. 3 stanzas
4. Lots of 's' sound
5. Lots of 'o' sounds
2. See
1. While Williams doesn't use a lot of descriptive words in his poem he gives the idea of coldness right away when saying an icebox and then at the end talking about how the plums were cold. He also created, for me, a scene of a little boy because he says forgive me like a child who took something that they were not supposed to. He also creates the sense of morning and cooking when he says "saving them for breakfast".  Williams gives a picture that reminds me so much of Little Jack Horner 
3. Story
1. Williams gave me a story of a little boy, who I pictured as blonde, going into the kitchen when his parents were busy and taking the plums out and eating them quickly, so that his parent wouldn't find out,and then he feels bad so he goes and either writes it down or tells his parents what he did because he feels guilty. Williams gave me a really clear picture of almost a late 19th or early 20th century feel with the language he used mainly 'icebox' and forgive me'. These are words that I often imagine an older story about a little boy. It reminds me a lot of Jack and Jill and Little Jack Horner sticking his thumb in the pie.
