The Red Wheelbarrow
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens
********************************
Confession: I do not get this poem. I can still remember sitting in a college lit. class thinking, "What is THAT?" It has been a source of joking with my English major husband, and I hesitate to ever say, "It depends." The expected punch line is delivered, "upon a red wheelbarrow," and I give a little chuckle. Chuckle, yes. Comprehension, no.
But, in the spirit of Fake It Until You Make It, I post The Red Wheelbarrow. Or, put another way, this is my Field of Dreams post: "If I blog it, it will come."
