The poem is "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. The poem is an apparent apology. The noun 'apology' is an abstract noun and an apology is an abstract idea, the word and the act are concepts.The author is using a concrete explanation (the physical absence of plums, the physical act of eating them, the physical properties of the plums as he ate them) to express the abstract idea (apology). The poem lacks abstract words.Note: There is one abstract noun in the poem:...saving for breakfast...The noun 'breakfast' is an abstract noun as a word for 'breaking one's fast' after abstinence throughout the night. The noun 'breakfast' is not the food itself, it is the occasion that the food is eaten, a concept.

Yes, the noun dessert is an abstract noun; a word for a concept. We think of the physical food eaten as dessert but it is a social construct that a peach or a pie is not just a food, it's a dessert.---If you are offered or are given a dessert, it is a concrete noun (food), regardless of what it is: you can see it, touch it, smell it, taste it. The only abstraction is the time of its consumption (at the end of a meal).The plural form is used abstractly in the metaphorical term "just desserts" - which means that a troublesome person has deservedly encountered trouble of his own.

What kind of noun is the word morning?

The noun morning is an abstract noun, a part of a day, a word for a concept. If the noun morning was a concrete noun, when the daylight did not distinguish the time of day, which can happen in certain parts of the world at certain times of the year; or if the sky filled to black with volcanic ash or an eclipse of the sun, the 'morning' could, in effect, be 'shut off'.
