"Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio" is written in free verse, an open style that is non-syllabic and non-rhyming. If we count the poem's line syllables or even the number of lines themselves, there appears to be complete randomness in its construction: five lines in the first verse, three in the second, and four in the third and syllable totals for each line.
