William Carlos Williams vs. T.S. Eliot

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

William Carlos Williams

7 lines, 16 words.  Done.

T.S. Eliot's Poem, The Wasteland has 437 LINES of poetry in it.


Thank you Jacob for reciting this for us.
Eliot and Williams lived almost the exact same years (1880s to 1960s).
