Thin ice fades at dawn—
I tremble with one blossom
clinging to the bush.

    I wonder if the blossom is as pungent as the wood is grows from.

    Trembling is almost a lost art in our world, except for people who are ill. Didn’t Moses tremble at the burning bush? Didn’t Saul tremble as he rode to Damascus to persecute Christians? I sense something otherworldly in the trembling mentioned in this haiku. I may be wrong, but I think the poet is trembling in the presence of the Holy One.

    the helplessness of the person has been outlined powerfully ! Surprisingly , i too have written a haiku on similar lines , though i went a bit over the edge 🙂
