Poems

Autumn
Sam Ryan

Poems about autumn
Are all about leaves
Or change
Or people
Or trees
Nothing interesting
Happens in fall
No fun
No games
No having a ball
You don't remember
What happens before winter
No swings
No rides
Not even bad splinters
It just turns out to be
That fall
Is the worst season of all
All other seasons have their fun
Summer is play
Winter is snow
And spring is new growth
But fall is dull
As a gray rock
It's like the night of the year
The rain in the weather
The loss amidst the wins
Autumn amounts to nothing
And never will.




Accomplishments
Sam Ryan

It's sad
That the best
Creations
Destroy themselves.
Our cities
Produce smog
Which covers
Their beauty up.
Giant empires
Get taken down
By the very people
Who live in them.
We humans
Are created
But we wear ourselves out
And die.
So much
Has been accomplished
And will soon
Be destroyed.
So enjoy it
While it last
Because its life
May not be long.




There is also 2 more poems at http://www.moontowncafe.com/ that I have submitted to the website poem contest. (The two contest poems are happier than these 2)

  1. Your poems are really good. I like how you spaced out the words and made it your own.

  2. I like the use of your lines breaking them up a lot it makes you pause and makes great sound effects

  3. I agree with baylis, your line breaks really add to the content on Autumn.
