Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Kaieteur Falls

Kaieteur Falls, my given name,

By a Guyana tribe whose chief,

Kai, according to legend fame

Sought to give his people relief

From destruction which was foretold.

The tribe's great spirit lived in me.

So from the top of me, Kai, bold,

Jumped into my waters to be

Lost in my powerful white spray,

Taken by the great spirit with

Hope by Kai, his tribe live and stay

Safe forever, so says the myth.

Did Kai's self sacrifice work well?

My legend, his tribe still does tell.
