Metaphor in the poem the red wheelbarow

There is
only onein this incredibly short poem, and it's expressed by the following lines:

"a red wheel
barrow

glazed with
rain
water..."

The red wheelbarrow is
presented to us as being "glazed," that is to say, shining, and with a certain
hardness to it. The narrator sees the wheelbarrow just after a shower of rain and with the sun
peeping through the clouds. The sun makes the wet surface of the wheelbarrow shine; it also
makes the white chickens gleam.

The metaphorical use of the word
"glazed" implies a certain fixity in the hard surface of the wheelbarrow. The weather
will change, and the seasons will come and go, but normality will always return. The chickens
will emerge from their hiding place after the storm has passed, and life will go on as before.
Yes, such moments of storm and stress will continue to recur throughout our lives, but they
never last. What matters is the sense of stability, the normal rhythm of our daily lives to
which we return after the moments of turbulence have elapsed. And it is upon those solid
foundations that "so much depends."
