I dont know if you had any specific revelation in this haiku or if you were just raptured by nature. But here is what i took from it...everyone wants the sun to come out in there life and melt away the coldness that haunts them. But what we dont realize is that when the ice melts away in our life, it is good for us but a rainy day for someone else. I dont know if i am looking too deep into it, but that is what i got. Great Haiku

Nice and simple, not bad

How is it that haikus can bring such imagery in so few words? Ah, the mysteries yet to be revealed by poetry.

Anyway, I really liked the choice of words. Reading back over it, I thought of a thousand other combinations that I would have used, but I don't know if I would have considered that one. It's a nice picture, the sun rising over a frozen landscape, and the ice glistens, shining across the forest in a cascade of bluish light, blurred slightly through separation. Then comes the heat that comes with day, not too hot, but enough to melt the ice, sending a torrent of rainbow colored rain onto the forested ground.

I could go on, but I think you see my point. Everything I just wrote, while pretty, is condensed down into nine simple words. Bless the Japanese.

Extremely nice poem. Kudos.
