It has a bit of William Carlos Williams in this!


e.g.


so much depends


with the aqua blue paint


on the rusty wheel

of a sluice gate


I just felt flooded field needn't be present as there's sluice gate?


The Red Wheelbarrow


so much depends

upon


a red wheel

barrow


glazed with rain

water


beside the white

chickens.


William Carlos Williams

XXII

Spring and All (1923)

Kala,

the rhythm of the first line syncs perfectly with the words. I stumble on L2. Perhaps reverse them?
