“So Much Depends…”

This is a picture, taken by Ryan, of my old, red wagon at my parents’ house.  I realize it’s not a red wheelbarrow, but when I saw it, I immediately thought of this poem by William Carlos Williams.

so much depends

upon

a red wheel

barrow

glazed with rain

water

beside the white

chickens.

I also think I must have poetry on the brain right now, which isn’t a bad way to start the New Year.  I hope you enjoy this simple poem and picture as you celebrate the beginning of 2013!
