I am an English teacher and so I love symbolism, etc. but people are reading way too much into these poems, things that aren't there. So much depends on a wheelbarrow literally and that image is beautiful and simple. There's nothing else necessary.

I cant believe that this tiny, simple, little poem has provoked so many different interpretations

The person who said the red, white and blue. for wheelbarrow, chickens and water. Water is clear, the ocean is blue because it is the reflection of the sky.
And another mentioned that Williams wrote this poem after checking for strep throat. I read elsewhere that it was after he had delivered a baby who had died during the delivery. Where are you getting your facts?
