The poem “This is Just to Say” by William Carlos Williams‚ is a confession note that is left by the writer to the reader of the note‚ telling them that they ate the plums they were saving for breakfast. Even though the writer states “Forgive me”‚ I don’t think that the writer wants to be forgiven. I think the writer is being sarcastic because the writer goes on and describes how delicious‚ sweet‚ and cold the plums were. To me‚ it seems like the writing is rubbing it in the reader’s face.

The Red Wheelbarrow was an interesting poem‚ one because it’s short and was able to keep my attention for the 4 lines of text‚ two because it seemed to combine the two popular prose styles of romanticism and realism. William Carlos Williams utilizes a sense of realism by depicting a scene of an everyday red wheelbarrow on farm‚ but also romanticizes the wheel barrow in strange yet cool way. He puts the wheelbarrow‚ a simple yard tool‚ on pedestal by saying that "So much depends upon the red wheel
