The red wheelbarrow is looking a little scungey
has lost some of its sheen since 1923
being out in the weather
but Williams would have approved of its use as a plant nursery
and Iām sure there are some white chickens
grazing nearby

Wheelbarrows were the best lifts for us growing up. If you could catch a ride.

It is good the think of recycling an old wheel-barrow for a new use. I didn’t get the significance of the white chickens although their reference enriches the poem.

I don’t know why it wouldn’t allow a comment – very odd. I hope that this was unique problem and not endemic of the whole site. I’ll have to read William Carlos William’s poem. Thank you.

wheelbarrows like white chickens so nostalgic, so reminiscent of the past
