How Does the Title Relate to the Poem, and How Does it Create Meaning?
In the poem, " This is Just to Say," the title of the poem affects how you interpret the poem quite a bit. The speaker of the poem is saying they had eaten someone's plums and they were sorry. However, you get the impression they aren't really sorry because the poem title is, "This is Just to Say." To me, that doesn't seem like the speaker is truly sorry and seems a lot like the speaker just feels they need to say something about eating the person's plums. Now, if the name of the poem was something more along the lines of, "I Truly am Sorry," I might have been able to imagine the speaker was actually sorry. This is also a poem where over analyzing it is really not needed. Some poems don't have some deeper meaning you need to look for. This poem is just stating what happened.
