What sort of style is this poem?

Country Matters ~ The Untamed Fire.



How gaily glows the gliding foam

Upon the river’s flood;

How bright is the phosphorescent shine

Amid the frothy mud



Now wandering lonely is a cloud

Of yellow toxic murk;

The Village pond’s an emerald bog

Where nameless creatures lurk.



Our nuclear waste disposal site

Lies three short furlongs hence

Its concrete coffins glow at night

By day, leak through the fence.



Old Farmer Giles, of ancient lore

Has long ago retired;

A lab technician’s bought his place

And all the fields are wired.



With vast arrays of bugs and probes,

Each one a strange device

To hold at bay Dame Nature, who

We always thought so nice.



With nitrates and insecticides

They scatter on the land

More active chemicals than Brighto

Beach has grains of sand.



So should you yearn to walk the dales

And gaze on fields or flowers,

Don’t you leave your lead-lined suit at home

Or you’ll be dead in hours!



- Christopher Mann.
