Motifs of Autumn

Twilight crimson in motifs gold
Paints eve’s horizon ruby bold
Where autumnal dreams unfold

As saffron vistas waltz to please
Amethyst winds quiver in breeze
Falling leaves of gamboge trees

Stars up high, for attention vie
Glinting prairies in russet dye
While doting moon peeks from sky

Till sunrise blossoms shortened days
Glistening smile of autumn's blaze
Blushed in kiss of zealous rays

Was this for a contest that recently was judged with only three winners? If so, you were cheated. This was so incredible. Just back to tell you that.
