T HIS POEM OF PLATH IS OF PERIOD WHEN SHE WROTE MAINLY ABOUT VIOLANCE.
This poem is about enchanting and breath taking beauty of “Poppies flowers”. The sun even with its bright red light can not cover such number of spectators.
Even the sun-clouds this morning cannot manage such skirts.
And the woman who is in the ambulance, whose blood is gushing FROM her heart and coloring her coat (evidently suffering and is in pain), can not gather much attention
Nor the woman in the ambulance
Whose red heart blooms through her coat so astoundingly--------------

Sylvia Plath
THE POEM HAS THE SAME TOXICATING EFFACT AS POPPIES
This poem is about enchanting and breath taking beauty of “Poppies flowers”. These are so beautiful that even the bright red and shiny Sun can not pass around them (manage such skirts) and had to stop to watch the beauty of these showy flowers .And the woman who is in the ambulance (evidently suffering and is in pain) can not evade their charm. Here hart has gone after them and she is spell bound
A gift of beauty a natural talent bestowed over these little flowers was unasked for .It is heavenly as beauty always is.
Encircling and burning, intensely and brightly the passion in them (poppies& spectators)
Arousing passion which is at the same time sweet and insane and dangerous like carbon monoxides through eyes (the center of flowers) and is dimmed when they are shady petals are closed or not completely open.
Plath must be feeling like Wordsworth did when he saw “The Daffodils” for she says
O my God, what am I
That these late mouths should cry open
Poppies welcome the visitors by opening their petals and giving a bright grin (sweet smile) in the chill and frosty season among other “Bachelor flowers”.
