Finalist in the 'The Text Generation 2014' competition

Grey streaked over green hills and Summer hues,
Stealing maple slippers and cherry-blossomed shoes.
Grey slept over yellow days and red-rocket skies,
Silently prowling under Moon's disguise.
Grey laughed as coloured tears fell,
Washing away Spring's beautiful spell.
One by one the colours joined Grey,
Leaving nothing of their marvellous display.
