Envy

golden amber leaves
adorn the tallest trees now
an early sneak peek
of what is to come so soon
when all the others will blush

was this the one for the contest, or a different one? I really like it, and that last line makes me picture the leaves turning red...these short, restrictive forms aren't really my strong point as I'm a free verser by nature

A different one. I had to up my game when I read yours. :) I am trying all styles for contests, and loving it.
