“The Red Wheelbarrow” by Ann Altman*

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

(William Carlos Williams, 1883-1963) via christopher.batchelder @ thirty seven fifty.

* See more of Ann Altman’s work here. Reminds me of Chagall

hear me near me
take my hand
need me feed me
be i am

wake me take me
sheathe my scream
keep me sleep me
watch me dream

wear me tear me
seek me found
shove me love me
be my bound

eye me sigh me
high my low
wed me bed me
never go

I have always love the red wheelbarrow poem. Found it for my wife the other day. She had just planted a bunch of flowers in a red wheelbarrow…

Cameron… great one. All my hats off are belong to you.
