"The Yachts" by William Carlos Williams

"The Yachts", by William Carlos Williams, is one of my favorite poems. I just love the sailing and water descriptions in this poem; and the eerie and truthful meaning of this poem.

I did not know Williams. My wife shakes her head in open disdain of my ignorance. As always, the critic gives me cause to shake my head.

"The poem "The Yachts" expressed Williams' perception on existing social positions and conditions where he considered the rich elite as parasites. He further declared the masses as striving for revolution. In "The Yachts", he particularly portrayed the poor masses watery bodies attempt to sink the yacht in an earnest intention to end the horror of the race."- John Halasz

Hmmm, and to me it just sounds like he is describing what it is like to be rolled at the start.
