I like the way you matched the poem with the picture. On the other had, I think haikus are supposed to use as few words as possible. Good luck in the contest.

Good image which suits your thesis well. I love the depicted action of the two bears.
These short poems are so difficult to judge but I wish you the best of luck.
Best wishes,
RGstar

This is a well written haiku, mystery writer! The picture of the polar bears "dancing" is a perfect fit for your words.

Great use of alliteration. This is a strong entry for the contest. Best of luck! Alana

I like:
the picture (I will say it is cute)
the alliteration: storm/snow/skies
the playfulness with "Polar Bears dance" when we know they could send a person many feet in the air with a swipe of their massive paws
Your syllable count is good
No changes needed.
Good job and good luck in the contest.

A very good haiku - perfect interconnecting lines 1 and 2 followed by a very good satori - an all round good haiku with the perfect picture. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy

I love the powerful use of, 'blinding fury'. 'Ravages' is a great word, too.

Great pic of the Polar bears that could be doing various things. :-)

Good luck and best wishes, Ray.

stunning presentation of your poem
good alliteration in your opening line
vivid concrete imagery that makes for a dramatic scene with strong sensory and emotional appeal
love the strong verb choice of ravage to intensify the dramatic impact
love the contrast between the ravaging storm and the dancing bears :-) Brooke

Marvelous! A complete story in so few words, or syllables. Haiku is the most difficult form of poetry I believe and you have nailed it. Vivid imagery and great descriptors. A strong contender for sure and I wish you good fortune in the voting.
