'Inn make believe castle.'

Poem Artwork

On a knight's errant

Suit of rusting armor

A flea bitten horse

Man of La Mancha.

Farm girl lady love

Basin an iconic helmet

Sets out early morn

Inn make believe castle.

Dubbed a fictious knight

Does battle with muleteers

Remove armor for trough

Lead horses to water.

Quixote frees treed boy

Wages earned - not paid

Home sweet home - escapes

Book on chivalry burned.

Famous adventure now begins

Is now chasing windmills

Ferocious giants fo fum

A theme of deception.

Butted with practical jokes

Sancho deceives - one point

Trapped into finding Dulcinea

Throw in peasant girls.

La Mancha man spelled

Can't see forest truth

Conclusion - Don is melancholy

Lived happily ever after.

'2008' RLS

This quick spin through Cervantes leaves one breathless, as though the windmill had tilted back. Very enjoyable journey.

Hello Robert,

Fascinating and timely. Seems all of us now are "chasing windmills" with our quixotic ideals ..."wages earned -not paid...can't see forest truth..."
