Nothing gold can stay  October 1, 2010 - November 30, 2010

'Nothing gold can stay' - a poem by Robert Frost. It won him the Pulitzer prize for poetry in 1924. Here's the poem :

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

This contest is an apparent tribute to the short, meaningful masterpiece.
