A Splendiferous Storm Premiere Contest Winner

Pink, cotton candy clouds, bandaging blue, sop scarlet from a hemorrhaging sky. Purple pigments add a violet hue, as a setting sun watches Autumn die. An icy chill sucks the warmth from your soul wherever skin gets exposed to the wind. Winter approaches to exact Her toll; delayed by Autumn, Her patience has thinned. A flurry of flakes confetti the air, swirling as if inside Nature's snow globe. And skeletal trees no longer stand bare; their branches draped in a soft, downy robe. Winter arrives in magnificent form, escorted by a splendiferous storm.
