Positioned in the middle,
A spire erected high,
Demands obeisance
From all in residence.

Short and powerful. Has a kind of LOTR feel to it as wellππ»ποΈ
Yes, it kind of does, actually! LOL! Good catch on that! I wrote it and didn't even catch that! π€£ Thanks again, my friend, for the read, the comment, and the keen insight! Much appreicated! πππ§±π―οΈ
Most welcome, mateππ»π
So brief yet inspiring the metaphor can not go unnoticed if human the phallic symbol raised and reinforced by the line erected high gives the image that we are driven in demanded obedience being the only one in residence to follow. The primal urge to leave our seed upon the earth. The strongest drive next to survival air, water, food and shelter. A most lovely and powerful write
Thank you so very much, my dear friend, for your time and most astute analysis. Indeed. Always appreciated! πππ§±π―οΈ
Nice crisp write...
Thank you! Your time and thoughts are much appreciated. πππ§±π―οΈ
Hey look at me and do as your told feel to this write, to me it also looks like a phallic symbol which would he fair to say that people who behave this way are, enjoyed the read
Thank you, my friend. Glad it resonated and delivered! πππ§±π―οΈ
You are very welcome
Good write T.
Thank you, Orchi! πππ§±π―οΈ
I of course wouldn't know of any phallic connotation, in me sheltered life! lol.
LOL! Of course not. Wait, I though the name was Phillip, not Phallic, sigh. I am confused now. π€·ββοΈπ€£
Appreciate Iβm swimming against the tide here, Tristan; I see no phallic symbolism in steeples and tall slender industrial chimneys but can only marvel at the work undertaken to escape gravity. Certainly get no obeisance out of me! lol
Enjoyed the write and provocation..
LOL! Your swimming is totally appreciated, my friend, as are your time and thoughts. Thank you so much! πππ§±π―οΈ
Could we see it as the Shushumna too?
I will have to summon the Valkyries maybe then the image would alter, jk of course
