Oh what a lovely take on The Red Wheelbarrow.
"so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
besides the white
chickens"
Love how you have swiftly turned the thought around from rain water as a glaze on the red wheelbarrow to rain as the agent that clears the snow.
Love your take on The Red Wheelbarrow. Lovely.
so much depends
on the postman
with the little red wagon
-not WCW
Thank you, thank WCW .
I like the little twist at the end.
__The red snow shovel may not be needed; it's important, when we discover the importance of being unimportant.

so much depends on
a green burial barrow
