"The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams is a classic example of imagist poetry, much like Ezra Pound's "In a Station of the Metro." It's a short poem, known for its simplicity and precision of imagery. Here it is:

so much depends

upon

a red wheel

barrow

glazed with rain

water

beside the white

chickens.
