Authmn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio

Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio
James Wright
page 289

Wright leaves no lines enjambed in this poem which makes it very easy to read. Addtionally, almost all of the lines end with some sort of punctuation, further facilitating the smooth and structured reading of the poem. Also each of the three stanzas is one sentence ended with a period, clearly showing the completion of a thought. The poem seems to be, on the surface, about a high school football game although I'm not sure what the actual subject is.
