Week 8



so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

Since I chose to do Pound's "In a Station of the Metro" for my post this week, I decided to include another poem in the Imagist mold, William Carlos Willaims' "The Red Wheelbarrow." I thought about offering my short interpretation as well, but I think it would be more appropriate if I let the poem stand as what it is intended to be... an image.
