You can read the winning entry, "Autumnal" here:

I gaze upon these leaves which once were green,
Adding such splendour to the verdant scene;
Firm in their footings, dancing in the breeze,
Flirtatiously carousing at their ease;
Unthinking and uncaring of the truth,
Blind in the callow ignorance of youth.

Then for a fleeting rhapsody of time
They seem to find a majesty sublime.
Fiery red robes and crowns of russet gold
Create a sight so wondrous to behold.
Their whispered conference, so wise, so sage;
Until the season turns another page.

Their beauty fades, as each must close his term,
Brittle and ageing, crumbling and infirm;
Shivering in the chill when North winds blow,
Yielding themselves before the Winter’s snow.
Crimson and gold gives way to sodden rust,
And finally returns to earthly dust.

*****************************
* ageing :- growing old.
age·ing    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (jng)
n. Chiefly British and Egyptian
Variant of aging.
