And now, without further ado, here is the winning entry, and the picture that inspired it:

In a Ruined Manor
Remember me as I once was, when I stood straight and strong;
my towers piercing skyward and my walls built stout and long.
I was a work of beauty then, an engineers delight;
a myriad of windows kept my hallways full of light.
Each room was warm and spacious with its ceiling vaulted tall;
wood paneling and woven rugs bade welcome one and all.
Rich tapestries, bright murals, and the finest gilded trim;
no one who lived within my walls eer thought Id look so grim.
But time and changing fortunes dealt harsh blows to them and me;
and all my former glory is now ruin and debris.
