    the wheelbarrow

    Explore the Craft of Writing American Verse The wheelbarrow is an invented form sometimes used by educators as an exercise in focus, intensity, concentration and emphasis. Donald Hall's How to Read a Poem ends the first chapter with this exercise. The verse form is patterned after the structure of the red wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams; Hall calls it "the wheelbarrow". so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens -----William Carlos Williams 1938 William Carlos Williams was a part of the "Imagist" movement. Imagism focuses on the concrete image using only adjectives which will enhance the image. Most imagist poems are under 20 lines, written without rhyme, and express emotion through the image. The elements of the wheelbarrow are: a single sentence in 8 lines, broken into 4 stanzas, each stanza has 2 lines. syllabic. L1 of each stanza has 3 words and a syllabic count of 3 or 4. L2 of each stanza has 1 word with 2 syllables composed with L1 making a statement of the importance, something to grab the reader and suck the reader into the poem. That word in Williams' poem is "depends" then the next line "upon" hangs the preposition from the verb... moving the reader on. written with "focus, intensity, concentration, and emphasis". composed with concrete images. the emotion is disclosed through the image. evening azimuth by Judi Van Gorder all eyes focus watching a setting sun mimic a fiery flare falling into a sizzling ocean the reader by Judi Van Gorder the mindful care given to a simple poem will bring new measure to the poetry within
