-two lines of grammatically interconnected concrete imagery
of three colors red, white and blue

-a kigo, seasonal reference Winter)

    Thank you Gert, I appreciate your review and feedback. Why is 'fire breath' the satori line? I thought it was 'i dream in color', I would appreciate your feedback.

    Well I could be wrong. I just like that line
    Smiles to you.

This haiku uses the images of dragons, the elements of hot and cold, and has an after reflection of considering dragons and the colors as things that make up dreams.

This one got me thinking, as is wasn't straight forward. I suppose 'fire breath' would warm things up...even winter nights! I like your writing (and the picture). It's cute and spellbinding.

This verse is spot-on for the contest, being 17 syllablesL
blue dragon fire breath
warms the winter night for me
I dream in color
It was fun to read. I wonder who dreams in black and white? Maybe colour blind people?

    LOL men dream in black and white, women dream in color. Thank you for the review Curly Girly.

This is a wll-written haiku, and the illustration you've chosen is superbly relevant to the poem.
I enjoy reading Haiku Poetry, as I'm a believer in Strunk and White's rule of thumb: "omit unneccesary words."
Haiku such as yours delivers an elegant portrait with few syllables.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

This is an interesting entry about a mythical creature, the blue dragon. And it is interesting also if you truly do dream in color. I understand that's kind of rare. (Little SPAG nitpick: In line two, the verb should be "warms" instead of "warm" to make the noun and the verb agree.) Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer
