Seedling in the dark
enriched soil, dark, silent.
Green, and slender
a young one, it emerges, frail.
Strong enough to walk,
but not enough to run, a bloom forms.
Vibrant crimson atop
a powerful stem.
And oh, so slowly,
colour fades.

I really enjoyed your poem. I was going to wish you luck in the contest, but she just posted the winners...I'm sorry but we both didn't win. Actually, yours had strong potential and I was so honored that you felt like you should delete your poem after reading my entry...hope it didn't cause you to stay up late because it was so long--lol. I knew I wouldn't win, but I wanted to have fun...I was glad that you had fun with my entry as well. I really never dreamed of two words getting so much attention. I almost feel compelled to enter this as a prewrite into another contest somewhere--really lmao now. I want to wish you luck on your next contest and be looking for my first contest to come out around the end of September or beginning of October. It will be called "The Drive Thru Lunch." I am hoping to make it a very interesting contest. The poets that enter will also become the judges. I hope that you will participate when I eventually post it. Again, I thought you had a very nice write here.......Jim aka ThePoetAmuse

Very good, I wish you luck in the contest! I loved this, truly. Except that I always think that "colour" should have a "u"....But that's just me being silly. lol. Always keep writing. Seriously, this is good.
