Fear

The rope is not the snake
But our wild imagination begins to fly
Although fake

Maybe it’s dead
If proved wrong, we will surely die
Head said

Appease
Thoughts that draw nigh
Freeze

The rope is not the snake
If proved wrong, we will surely die 
Freeze

So meaningful, so true... it's all about the wild imagination isn't it... Glad to read your poems after a long time, Seeker... God bless... ~ Ani

I would not be picking up a rope to see if it was a snake NO WAY !!! A very good Minichu. Certainly creepy. So many variables for this contest. The options are limitless. Will be interesting to see what poets come up with. BOL

Hahaha! Thank you, SV. Of course, the rope and snake is a well known illustration in spiritual circles, aimed at inducing the neophyte to relinquish all vicarious knowledge and imagined knowing, so that the ultimate truth may be cognised.
