Verdant life’s
annual metamorphous.

Autumnal blankets
cover gently,
preparing for winter’s chill…

and spring’s return.

    It is a literal take, but I think you've done it beautifully to describe nature's cycle!

    I like how you manage to convey an entire year of growth and life into four words. No, it's not too obvious. I think it's beautifully written. Good luck in the contest!
