Monday Poetry: The Worst Poem Ever Written

I hate this poem so much.

I first read it in high school and I never forgot it.

It offends me, not morally, but aesthetically.

Maybe I am a heathen who can't recognize genius, since many consider this the masterwork of this 20th Century poet.

But it is just

so...

stupid!

The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens. 

William Carlos Williams
