Chalk Ridge Falls Park

Gary Edward Geraci

Disdain for this, a place in shambles, strewn

With litter: colored papers, cans, and glass.

The rustic, wooden, two-beam fences hewn

From wood not treated: toppled, nails harass.

A lane of bulldozed trees, debris; morass

Of rogue, rough pathways, roughshod over rouge

Crushed cedar, split with stringy fibers; crass

And cluttered carnage. changing times will gauge

This deluge: drunken freewill license; sinful gouge.

  • Comment from author about the poem: A vignette written in a Spenserian stanza. The landscape of many souls today: thirsting for the quenching and illuminating light of Christ.
