Note
Mae Williams
I ate it
and put it in the refrigerator
Plums
They
Probably you
Keep them
For breakfast
Please Forgive
They are so delicious
So sweet
And so cool
When you first see it, you will be surprised , and wonder how this could be a poem.
Other poets look at the distance and seek ideals, which are both beautiful and empty. Some poets also look at the life and scenery nearby and write about their feelings at the moment, but there are few of them. A poet can, like Williams, extend his poetic tentacles into such ordinary and trivial life. There are few objects of poetry that are so unrealistic.
If you often read some of Williams' poems, you will find many amazing details that exist in life but have been ignored by us.
Too many people are obsessed with poetry, but their ability to perceive reality has deteriorated. They often don’t care so much about the details of life, and they are no longer keen on the subtle beauty in life.
When reading this poem, there is no need to try to find any great meaning, just feel it and feel the tranquil atmosphere of this ordinary and trivial life. The quiet beauty of life. Delicate and unpretentious writing style.
This is a kind of beauty. There is no need to explore it, just feel it.
