When reading this poem I picture a farmer. I imagine this farmer has animals and crops that need his time and attention. The red wheel barrow represents the work this man puts into his life, the wheel barrow being glazed with rain water could be imagery for sadness or struggle. when reading this poem it makes me feel like the farm is going through hard times and the only way out of the situation is through hard work. Using the image of chickens specifically being white could be a reflection of purity. my take on the vision of this poem is that Williams is trying show that there is nothing more pure than a man working hard to support himself and his farm.

so much depends
upon

this next
pitch

palms glazed
with sweat

I let it go.
