This shows how in every problem, there’s choices that can be made, such as how we present ourselves despite the other, and whether we line up on the hard side of logic or on the soggy bottomed emotional side. In the end, I figure a balance is the way to go, which means some of us have to find that falling to destruction can happen on either side.
01 February 2012 - Sword Balancing - sijo
The line is thin, we walk it always daring to look down;
the choices come, brace and posture; emotion duels with logic;
by faith we close our eyes and cross the rope, swords balanced.

params: 3 lines, 44-46 sylls, each line has 14-15 sylls. L1=problem, L2= develops or turns the thought, L3=resolves or concludes the theme. The first half of the final line employs a twist by means of surprise in meaning/sound/tone/or other device. To end with a profound observation, originality of wit, or strong emotional finale is a must.
