The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens

--William Carlos Williams

  2. Yeah, thanks Mary. It's long been one of my favorites. I recently read a book "Rain of Gold" by Victor VillaƱor (five stars, you should read it)that brought this poem to mind.
