The Height of Haiku Challenge, Day 3 - Windmill
Welcome to Day 3 of The Height of Haiku Challenge, where your challenge is to write 30 haiku in 30 days, with the themes given here. The prompt today and #61 overall is WINDMILL, given by Nanka.
Here's mine:
WINDMILL
Round and round she sails Fighting with Don Quixote At the Moulin Rouge 03092011
Beautiful!! Your run away mind took you to the Moulin Rouge windmill, of which I saw a picture and Don Quixote the romantic hero on a whirlwind adventure!! I got images of swords swishing round and round :)
Fun haiku, Andy! Don Quixote definitely would have had at that windmill, had he ever seen it. Assuming, of course, he didn't get distracted by all the dancers and think they were damsels in need of rescuing... ;)

This is an amusing piece! I saw in person (once) that windmill at the Moulin Rouge. I can just imagine Don Quixote getting tangled up in it!
ReplyDeleteNo Windmill Here!
