A City Plum Is Not A Plum Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

A City Plum Is Not A Plum

Rating: 2.7


A city plum is not a plum;
A dumb-bell is no bell, though dumb;
A party rat is not a rat;
A sailor's cat is not a cat;
A soldier's frog is not a frog;
A captain's log is not a log.

A loud poet is not a poet A bonnet not a sonnet, though rhyming Saul is not Paul I get it.

Her most famous collection, Goblin Market and Other Poems, appeared in 1862, when she was 31. It received widespread critical praise, establishing her as the main female poet of the time. Hopkins, Swinburne and Tennyson lauded her work. and with the death of Elizabeth Barrett Browning in 1861 Rossetti was hailed as her natural successor. The title poem is one of Rossetti's best known works.

A poem to be read and reread, such greatest view upon a difficult language, which is not so difficult as we might think. To be honest, her view I had also had before having read this poem. A true poet's view.
