Red Wheelbarrow poem
Not what you're looking for?
The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams
1. Can you tell what is the importance of the wheelbarrow, rain, and chicken to a farmer?
2. What further importance can you infer from the references to color, shape, texture, and the juxtaposition of object? Does the poem itself have a shape? What two ways of observing and valuing the world does the poem imply?
3. What are the possible reasons for "experimental" qualities in the poem - for instance, its lack of capitalization, its very short lines, and its plain, even homely images? Do these qualities give the poem a greater emotional power than a more conventional and decorative poem on the same topic might have achieve?
