by hello, dragonpoet,

I like your series of haikus for the contest.

Passage of Time is a fine entry. Good syllable count. You paint concrete pictures with the haiku.

From dawn to dusk is portrayed very well in this collection of haiku poetry. The imagery is well placed with the metaphoric use of words.
Well done.

This is very wonderful piece of work you have here. I like the mix of grammar and style. However you may want to restructure your poetry piece taking into cognity, punctuation and our spellings. For instance, Bare branches brush sky Bare branches brush sky
coloring it the dusty mauve of breaking dawn, would be better when read as Bare branches brush the sky, coloring it dusty mauve of breaking dawn.

"In moments pallette changes, sunny azure bringing light to day." you may want to read through this paragraph and punctuate correctly so as to send across the true meaning to the readers.

In "Then darkness descentd as the canvas turns to black sending us to sleep," you may want to correct the spelling of "descentd." Apart from these points I made mention of, you indeed have a unique offering for the contest. Good-luck at that!

    Thanks for the review and grammar edits. I didn't use punctuation because it is not usually used in haiku. Thanks for the good luck wishes.

Dear dragonpoet, Your haikus depict well the passing of time from dawn to broad daylight to nighttime sleep. Your wording is expressive, I'm just not sure what the word in the last haiku is meant to be - "descends, descended?" good luck in the contest. Dove

Really nice imagery of the sun arching across the sky from dawn to dusk.
I could really envision it like when they fast forward a scene in a movie.
Good luck with your writing and good luck with the contest.

Passage of Time is a piece that describes the day changing into night. Both have their own beauty that shines through as they change and take over the sky.
