More to give away this week as we’ve got something for the animation fans. Up for grabs: Tracey Miller-Zarneke and Cressida Cowell’s lovely coffee table book “The Art of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’” and a copy of John Powell’s beautiful beloved original score for the film.
I think I’ll steal shamelessly from Sasha Stone again and give this away by way of a Haiku contest. So cut loose with your best “Dragon”-inspired Haiku poem (submit up to three, if you like). Winner gets the goods.
Also, be sure you refresh your memory on what a Haiku poem actually IS before submitting to your entries.

Getting close to those
That fill you with tons of fear.
Your life will be changed.
Fear of the unknown
Is what makes the world so sad
And it could cost you
Flying with Toothless
Was quite an experience
Unmatched by others
Toy Story Three? No,
Pixar has fooled you, yet again.
THIS is the year’s best.
Pixar’s stranglehold
has never seemed so unfair
Dragons (and dreams) take flight.
Moral courage is
I am not one of them, I
am Hiccup, I am new.
Human and dragon–
Pray tell, who is the trainer
And who is the trained?
DWA’ s Dragon Dragon
You are burning bright in the
Moth… Shut your mouth!
When it comes to
Watching three dee films there’s
Only one Dragon ©
Dragon tested and
Mother approved this film
Is pure fiber
He is just a wimp
That’s not what the dragon sees
A dragon master
A blurry demon
Flying, sets the night ablaze
Truly a cute pet.
Be careful, Hiccup
Dragons take their art to heart.
Don’t step on the lines!
A nightmare walks in.
The kid deals with it calmly.
Dad goes ballistic.
Off in the blue sky
Passes a boy and dragon
Legless and toothless
I went there (as did the movie).
Lovely arrangements.
Violin solo makes for
A Romantic Flight
Not So Fireproof.
Everything we know is wrong.
Don’t have to fight them.
Love Powell’s music,
But wait a minute… bagpipes?
Vikings were Scottish?
Who would ever think
The story of a dragon
Would leave us speechless
A series of reflections from the perspectives of three characters:
Toothless
Try the fish. It’s good.
Thank you for fixing my tail.
Always there for you.
Hiccup
Sorry I maimed you.
I’ll make you better, Toothless.
Make me better, too.
Stoick
I didn’t get you.
I didn’t get your dragon.
But now I do, son.
Shot by accident
Toothless dragon he’s my friend
We ride together
Missing appendage
You and me and Gobber too
We do not give up
They don’t understand
Enemies can be our friends
Gentle heart required
wings of red fire
an unexpected friendship
rise from the ashes
*Hiccup* excuse me
Could some one scare me? *Hiccup*
Oh my god! DRAGON!
Closer to heaven
Higher and higher we go
My dragon and I
She leaves me breathless
Scared, I show her my Toothless
Never more loveless
Hiccup and Toothless,
Scrawny and large, but as one
Soar above slayers.
The Night Fury calms,
Tamed by love and faith airborne,
And with tail mended.
Son of a Viking
Flying a dragon up high
Finds a hero’s joy.
Why are the dragons
Being dismissed from top 10
When it is the best?
So high in the sky
The wonders of that first flight
3-D perfection
The lair of dragons
The war of generations
A fear forgotten
Humorous Hiccup
And his companion Toothless
Fly high in 3D
Fearless Viking King
Ashamed of his wimpy son
Proud of a fake leg
Viking and dragon
Foes, then Hiccup flies away
The sky is now calm
Retractable teeth
A banquet of fish–no eel
The Night Fury soars
A troublesome son
He cannot kill the dragon
Breast helmet disturbs
The unlikely pair
Against all adversity
Together they fly
Boy and his dragon
A Journey of reflection
Friendship and beyond
A young man sees light
in the Fury of the Night.
A new day will come.
A smoldering Grey
A black and white confusion
The truth lies between
Friendship fed on fish
Misunderstanding of fact
Together take flight
Fed by ignorance
Predujice lost in the sky
United in Love
Toothless although Strong
Marked by confusion by both
War is won through Amity
ehem
Toothless although Strong
Marked by confusion by both
War won through Fervor
Shy boy meets small dragon
same old same old though told well
Skip Pixar and Go Dreamworks
Cautious Hand Forward
Eyes Closed for the Creature’s Touch
You Understand Me
Forbidden Friendship
Minds Open like the Bright Sky
Challenged by Your Fear
Father’s Prejudice
Darker than the True Green Death
We are Breaking Free
Deadly flying cats
Dad says they don’t make good pets
Can’t stop a kid’s love
They’re coming by air
All is quiet all is still
Fire from nowhere
How does he do it
I have always been the best
He’s so different.
Ok I was late to this site, and I am probably too late to be in this contest but here is my haiku offering.
Two become one,
Soaring the spectacular!
Ah! Alive, at last!
Thanks LK
OMG OMG OMG I WANNA IT SO BADLY!!!! OMG HAHA XD okay so I came up with this. btw THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS CHANCE!! XD and also when does this contest end?
They do it to protect
It can’t be helped
But he came and understood their plea for help
He tamed the beast
Gave him a home
Trained with him
And the boss now fall
They were all free
With gratitude for thee
For the two who came and set them all free
Became one
and soaring as high as the eye can see
