Hello Prerna,
As you've seen and replied to in Steve's Haiku, you must realize your's needs a bit of filling in to comply with the 5-7-5 structure. Here are some suggestions which might help: splash! Capitalize and make a statement! Splash! Then reiterate that with what that sound implied or what the sound made you imagine. Things like "Rain in springtime" or "Liquid music", et al. Utilize anything which will enhance the image in the reader's mind. What do you want them to see? sound of molten snow "Molten" implies, in nearly all instances, something hot. There are many synonyms which can be used that signify the melting of snow. If I might paraphrase Merlin, "There are many ways of saying the same thing." Line 2 should have the requisite 7 syllables. waters down the cold I'm not sure what you are trying to have the reader see in this line. Please take/toss any or all of these suggestions. I see the overall mind picture you are trying to draw but would like to see it fleshed out a bit. Larry ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
