    The sounds of the second line 'are' what the poem talks about--the crack, then the siblant slide of piece on piece. Beautiful.

    When the cracks came you knew it was time to get off.

    Very descriptive, I like the use of sound in this haiku. It is something we have to look forward to, after winter time. Thank you so much for your haiku.
