August - 5th Place

Amber lights grace the holiday 
Unfolding hope for hearts in gray 
Gladiolus bloom in shades of pink 
Under the beams of lights that sink 
Spinel sparks inspiration 
To hopeful hearts in motion

5th place

Thank you very much for the appreciation... Though some characteristics of August may be distinct in my country like the common events.... My poem was based on European concept, especially the holidays...
