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.
