DESCRIPTION:
Those who write from darkness heed no such borders, instead venturing into the darkened woods, unlit hallways and abandoned structures others fear to explore. Autumn Shadows is such a journey, luring the reader along those foreboding paths between the comfortable safety of the sunshine and the ominous trail that beckons the reader who dares. Choose wisely." -Coffinnails Mike, Poet . "Many writers strive to approach the reader from a feeling of familiarity, a sameness from which others can relate
Amazon Customer said Five Stars. Fantastic poetry. Hauntingly beautiful. What a talent!. "The next edgar allen poe" according to botdfzombiegurl. This is one of the best poetry books i have ever read. Ryan could be the next edgar allen poe. Loved it!. Five Stars Winemiller Brilliant poetry. I love the word choices and how it all flows so wonderfully.
Combining classic rhyme schemes with nuances of dark yet clever, nostalgic, and sometimes ironic poetry, Ryan Griffin masterfully weaves tales of childhood wonder, lost love, and the things that go bump in the night! Not since Edgar Allan Poe has an author captured the mystery and macabre that lies so deep within all of us. Poem themes include: murder, mayhem, suicide, solitude, zombies & more! Read a sample below.Autumn ShadowsCandles flicker in the growing coldStreets are barren, growing old.An eerie chime sounds from a bell,All alone, where the shadows swell.The brilliant moon sits in the sky,As luminescent clouds float by.Dark specters escape from their hell,All alone, where the shadows swell.Deafening silence engulfs the town,As falling leaves entrench the ground.The wind then howls a fond farewell,All alone, where the shadows swell.Along the path, creeping, crawling,Unseen, silent, and slowly falling.All alone, there I dwell,All alone, where the shadows swell.
He enjoys reading, writing, astronomy, quantum physics, and all things dark. Ryan lives in a small town in southern Pennsylvania. He wrote his first poem "Autumn Shadows" in 1999 and then started writing poetry again in 2006. This is his first published work.
