walking narrow path
between summer and winter
seeking solutions
two sides of moral dispute
resolved by ending conflict
This tanka is my response to
Frank Tassone’s #Haikai
Challenge #60: Armistice.

Very good Ken… are your summer and winter referring to fighting vs a cold war by any chance?

Thank you, Dwight. I realize it could be seen on many levels, but I see it as extremes resulting in war, and achieving a middle ground that is peace through a course susceptible to missteps (the narrow path).
