Lagomorph - The poem contains a kireji (pause usually located at the end of first or second line) and the kigo (nature or season word), Sun. These two traditions are all that is generally required to create a proper English language haiku. It does not necessarily have to be about nature though this is sort of a double meaning (lava lamp or volcano) poem anyways, with one of the meanings pertaining to nature.
dannyboy - You and Lagomorph are both correct about the location of the light, though interestingly (perhaps), this haiku was actually inspired by gazing at a lava lamp I had turned upside down, causing it to sort of wobble around (dance) while the lava was now rising up instead of falling down towards the heat source.
Thank you both for your reviews and I hope that I have cleared up any confusion.
