A flash of brilliant burgundy
assaults the darkened sky
burning a trail across the unlit stars
til the night weeps rainbows
shimmering in a majestic display
vivid, primeval, almost brutal
slashing and flashing,
wakening the moon with their riotous affront
a veritable panoply on high
trickling down to tickle the treetops
before bleeding out in the snow
and vanishing
as if they were never there.

Good luck in the contest
