Independence

"So much depends
upon

A red wheel
barrow

Glazed with rain
water

Beside the white
chickens"


- William Carlos Williams



William Carlos Williams was a very well-known poet and a practicing pediatrician. When he wrote "The Red Wheelbarrow" he was with a dying girl and this poem comprised of what he saw out the window.



A way to look at the poem...

On the outside of the window is utter utopia, but on the inside is death.



My version of "The Red Wheelbarrow":



So much depends upon

Independence

Responsibility, Freedom, Self - Sufficiency

In one's mind but not always performed.
