Not a Red Wheelbarrow...Poets United



just a coat of paint
they said  and five years later
it's still not finished






a blot on the landscape

unless you are thirsty or
suffering from heat stroke

then it is transformed
into a blue lagoon
surrounded by water sprites

  3. our circumstances def will dictate our perception at times...
    a cardboard box, is it trash or a home...or a space ship....

  4. Actually this poem made me smile. It seems to be a parody of the Williams' poem.
