Reflection on the plum poem


  • When reading the word “plum”, I distinctly think of the big, red plums. Since they are in a iced box, there might be some little drops of water on them. That made them seem even more attracted to me.
  • There are lots use of the sound “s” in the poem. Made the whole poem really soft.
  • This poem feels like a little apology poem to me. The image of a little boy climbing up the table, eating the plums with big smile and feels so guilty afterward just pop up in my head. Automatically make me think this is such a cute poem of that little boy. The simple wordings made this feeling even stronger.
  • I can hear the sound of him biting on the plums as I read the last stanza. It’s loud and crispy, telling everyone how good the plums are.
  • After reading the poem, I want to hunt for some plums too :p

It's true that lots haikus don't make sense at all. In some ways, this haiku doesn't make sense, but it actually does. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=W0lmsiFS&id=8F87C215EE98CA4F07B2972FD705CBD9038953CB&thid=OIP.W0lmsiFS0gEe7iOH2jH7qwHaF6&mediaurl=http%3A%2F%2Fs11.favim.com%2F610%2F160211%2Fhaiku-life-love-painful-Favim.com-3980481.jpg&exph=487&expw=610&q=haiku+about+love&simid=607993412247227539&selectedindex=49&ajaxhist=0 I like this haiku because it's strongly emotional...
