    I wish I could parse this ... I'm sure you have a clear idea of what you mean -- I'm just too dim to discern it.
    There's nothing like a simile.

    dear astroannie thank you for reading my senryu..
    this about a centurian who is to dismount and unshackle himself free foes and wars.
    his call of duty to go and fight has now come to an end.

    Do you mean "centurion"?

    I'm not sure what he's "dismounting" here.

    Centurions tend to be foot soldiers...

    depends on the centurion's ranking , this type fights on a horse, and they usually practice/lance ''fighting shows''.
    you must have seen the movie 'Centurion'??

    True. I said "tend to be" because that is a more common perception of centurions than those in the legionary cavalry.
