Reply:Pardon if I don't remember this exactly but check William Carlos Williams about plums. Had to do with someone apologizing for eating the plums in the refrigerator. They were so cold and sweet.





If it wasn't him it was Sylvia Plath, but my bet is Williams.
Reply:Do you have Robert Frosts After Apple Picking? You can find it here http://quotations.about.com/cs/poemlyric...





Another famous fruit poem is called Strange Fruit. Information about this poem and the subsequent song by Billie Holiday can be found here http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USA...
Reply:Well, is a plum a fruit?


There's William Carlos Williams' "This is Just to Say."
Reply:First link is the William Carlos Williams poem about plums.


Second is one about fruit by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Reply:Check on blueberries and Robert Frost.





The fragment I remember is "... blueberries as big as your thumb...." something-something ... "waiting for the first to come..."
