The Red Wheelbarrow was an interesting poem‚ one because it’s short and was able to keep my attention for the 4 lines of text‚ two because it seemed to combine the two popular prose styles of romanticism and realism. William Carlos Williams utilizes a sense of realism by depicting a scene of an everyday red wheelbarrow on farm‚ but also romanticizes the wheel barrow in strange yet cool way. He puts the wheelbarrow‚ a simple yard tool‚ on pedestal by saying that "So much depends upon the red wheel
