First off: I am so sorry for the delay guys! I totally forgot about posting the winners completely! Ugh, I feel terrible. There is no excuse for this mistake.
I have put up precautions so that this doesn't happen again. There are three alarms for it on my phone now (why didn't I think of this before?) so this shouldn't happen again! Sorry again lovelies.
Now, for the winners. But first let me say that I have never seen so many amazing entries as for this contest. You guys put your all into these entries there was no mediocre poem in the bunch! So of course picking a winner was very hard. But here they are (thank you for being to patient):

By 23s_Gal
She was a rainbow in a world of black and white.
She was as vibrant as the yellow sun. On a hot, cloudless day.
She was as feminine as the pink flower. Showing beauty in each and every way.
She was as kind as the gentle orange. Making people want to stay.
She was a rainbow in a world of black and white.
As her colours leaked out, people began to notice her. They noticed the vibrant yellow, the pretty pink, the soft orange.
As more and more people came into her life, the more people she began to touch. And the more people she brought colour to.
She brought a rainbow to a world of black and white.
The feeling this gave me was wonderful! I wish I could forget it and read it anew so that I could relive the chills! I want to know the person the poems talks about. Scratch that, I want to be her! I'm sure everyone else who reads this probably will too. Beautifully done!

| Color of Everything |
What is the color of everything?
Perhaps the seven-hued rainbow
when the sun appears altering raining
or the darkness of the ocean below
when a submarine travels down low
What is the color of a friendship?
Perhaps the ombre of dawn
when sleeping over, snacking on chips
or the blackness of a betrayed bond
when bickering behind backs so many wrongs
What is the color of determination?
Perhaps the crimson of a sweaty face
after running a marathon under the sun
or the scarlet of disbelief after the lost race
when a one second difference was such a close case
What is the color of two lovers?
Perhaps the salmon blush after the first meet
when inadvertently bumping into the other
or the smeared rose lipstick after the first cheat
when the hearts become broken and incomplete
