THE RED WHEELBARROW, WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens


William Carlos Williams, 'The Red Wheelbarrow'

Now I am studying poetry again, I'm probably going to post my favourites a lot more. I'm studying another e e cummings poem this week, so it'll probably crop up reasonably soon. If you want an analysis of this, head to its Wikipedia page. Just something about it makes it strangely beautiful.
