The Red Wheelbarrow

by William Carlos Williams

so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens

the back wings

of the
hospital where
nothing
will grow lie
cinders
In which shine
the broken
pieces of a green
bottle

This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

Your turn
Write a short poem.
Perhaps youd like to say what so much depends on.
Perhaps youd like to highlight a place of beauty or calm
amidst destruction or chaos.
Perhaps youd like to kind of apologize. But not really.
