The Red Wheelbarrow
by William Carlos Williams
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens
The first two stanzas speak generally: in the phrase "so much depends" and in the article "a red wheel/ barrow". When this wheel barrow is detailed, however, it gains concrete weight that is then grounded in the precise specificity of the last stanza: "the white/ chickens."
