On Listening To The Falls Poem by Mike Barrett

On Listening To The Falls



Rock
Induced roar
Painful product
Of tortured brook's anguish
Raging revenge
'Gainst jagged tormentor
Seething now justice
For injustice suffered -
Dinning the air,
Pulsating fury!

Above,
The placid sky,
The quiet pine
Stand mutely by.

This is one of my earlier poems. It was written sometime mid 1962, At that time we had a property in Barnesville, New Brunswick. Not far from our place was a larger creek which fed the Hammond river. This creek had a falls, and earlier during the day that I wrote this, I had visited the falls and was left with these impressions.
