"Small grudges, got to watch out for them — especially if they look like becoming a pattern of behaviour. That ice might be emanating from a loved one! An original combination of natural and behavioural images that leaves me wanting to know more.'

Little typo there - should be 'new ice' not 'rice' Thank you for publishing my haiku Chen-ou!
