I do find this poem to be very clever.

PP
I love your poem! Its form is actually quite similar (if not identical!) to the Shakespearian sonnet! And of course yours reminds me of his 29th: 'When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, etc.'

Writing from/off the top of your head. That is lucky for YOU!
This is second time I have tried to post to you. My words keep flying away...
I need a prompt, most often, to write. Yesterday, went to the Goodwill store and purchased 8 books for $7.00. There is at least a $100. value here! Then, brought them home and greedily devoured whatever makes me pause. I don't read in depth. But from this I always come up with something to write about. I guess the same thing could be accomplished if I lay on my back and looked at the clouds. But where I live, they would have me arrested for doing such a thing.
Good luck with your poetry reading.

Re: Don Quixote a real air-head
No sorry dearie we can't rate you as a comedian, we are all poe faced and very serious we would not dream of laughing at anything you write especially when you educate us with your prose. Most women I know love horses more than their followers so it was not a surprise to me. Neigh not one.

Don Quixote a real air-head
This poem was written in hopes that you would all be ROFL, the whole thing written with tongue in cheek. Disappointed it did not induce any guffaws from my readers. Was supposed to be FUNNY! Don Quixote was the guy who rode over hill and dale with an upside down pot upon his head, posing as a "knight" and he never let anyone discourage him from his chosen 'adventures' which were totally nonsensical. He was a total nut and kept attacking every windmill he saw along the way.

How interesting. I loved the poem and learnt quite a bit about the stanza's too. As for me, I just write what comes to mind and most times is lyrical. Thank you for stopping by my blog and welcome to my blog.

English for me is a second language. And for me to follow the rule. I find it very difficult. Although I find it very interesting 
Thanks for your effort.

It seems as Don's problems fallowed him from windmill to windmill. You are teaching us so much about poetry. Thank you.
