Westport River

Today I went to school and I saw my friends. I said we should meet up at the park. They all said “Sure!” So after school we met up at the park and I said “We should go into the woods, I heard there is some scary stuff there.” So we ran into the woods and ten minutes later we found the Westport River.

Fall

Hi, my name is Ryan, today is Saturday in Westport, Massachusetts. My Dad said we are going to rake the bright orange leaves into one big pile. I asked, “Can I invite some of my friends over after we rake the yard, so we can play in the leaves?” “You can only invite them if you clean all of the leaves up after,” Dad replied.

The Fall Day

“Lily hurry up!” I called from the bottom of the stairs. “I don’t want to be late for the festival”. Lily rushed down the stairs, she was wearing a red long sweater over a red and white flannel shirt with jeans.

A night beneath the stars

A night beneath the stars.

Love swells in my chest,

Even for just one night.

So few and far between; the moments.

Out onto the roof we climbed

Laying side by side,

Under the late autumn nighttime sky.

Your warm skin pressed against mine.

Leafjump

We celebrate

Bright Death.

Swirl down;

Yellow, orange, red

Flash—

Brief fire against the blue.

Fall

Today is a rare chance for me to go outside. With my busy schedule I never have the ability to truly take in the smells, sounds, and sensations of the outdoors. Fall is the perfect time for this, it’s not too hot or too cold. Fall is also one of the most beautiful seasons. Even after 17 years of life, there is something magical about seeing the leaves change from green to orange, yellow, and red.

Leaves are red,

Leaves are yellow,

I was walking in the park and met a fine fellow.

He brought me to a place

And he told me “Look at it, Embrace.”

The Worst Halloween ever!

On October 31, 2022, it was a Monday. The temperature is about fifty degrees.

I was biking home from school when an older kid (about thirteen years old) named Ice pushed me off my bike and stole my new $200 shoes!

Autumn leaves come and go.

Beautiful colors blossom and bloom.

We must savor this beauty and the weather.

Because soon winter will come,

all will be gone.

No leaves on the trees,

no warmth in the air.

The Green Man

While my friends and I were at the Westport Fair, and finished the corn maze, we saw a trail in the woods. We decided to go on it. After around 5 minutes of following the trail we saw a lovely creek. We also noticed how beautiful the leaves were. They were green and yellow above the creek and it was really pleasing… until we heard an eerie noise.

Westport Falls

On a cold Wednesday in Westport, I was walking to the supermarket to get groceries for my mom because she was too lazy to get them herself. On the way I happened to walk across the most luxurious forest I've ever laid my eyes on.

It was a normal sunny Sunday morning until I remembered I had ONE DAY TO DO MY SCIENCE PROJECT! It's about leaves and how they change color. So I ran to the woods looking at all the beautiful leaves, stepping on the ones that fell. Until I heard - OW OW OW!

Fall leaves fall

Leaves are hanging from long big branches,

Coming down like avalanches.

The tops of trees cannot be seen,

The colors of leaves are like emerald green.

The Haunted House

Back in the 1980’s there was a haunted house in this graveyard which only opened when the leaves changed color. You had to sign up to enter the haunted house on a paper that your teacher gave you. When Ted heard about this he made his friend, Malisa go with him and he made “The Big Shot,” Tom go too.
