The crimson heat of
organic flames entangle
with tropical saffron ash
infiltrating skies
with luminous brilliance
in citrus splendor
Birds of paradise take flight
on wings of grandeur
Kissing the heavens in sweet
blossoming wonder
Soothing starburst of magnificence
paint the canvas with dazzling
orange submerged in gold
and heaven sings in
harmonious exultation
on the banks of an endless feast
served on a platter of serene majesty

Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous!! The flow is so very smooth, and the imagery abundant and brilliant in all the hues of orange. I am left wrapped in sighs after this read. Sunrise is my favorite time of day...a new fresh beginning, and beautifully painted skies. Thanks for this excellent addition, and Good Luck!

wonderful thoughts...wonderful emotions
This is truly a beautiful work. It is soothing to the ear and musical to read. I love the way you invoke a peaceful, yet exciting emotion with your description. I, too, do not understand the exclaimation mark [the comment below asks for a comment about the title]. But the rest of the poem flows like a song.
I like the idea that 'heaven sings in harmonious exultation.'

So hedonistic and indulgent - I love the warm glow this poem gives - well done indeed!

Nice!
I really like the imagery you offer here. Some very slight criticism (and only my humble opinion, mind you!) but I would remove the exclaimation point from the title & I would change "citrusy" to simply citrus. For some reason, it seems to read smoother that way. Otherwise, very well done! Good luck in the contest!

Great job!
I love the imagery pairnted here. The first line in its self was enough to draw me in.
"The crimson heat of
organic flames entangle
