Obsessed with windmills feet planted in earth
head in the clouds a quixotic birth
with a love of sails in a flat county
sunset never fails yielding fantasy’s bounty
to spellbind a giant with shadows
into a night-black silhouette performing a pirouette

A cleave poem inspired by Jane Dougherty – my response to Sue Vincent’s Daily Echo Thursday Photo Prompt – Sails – #writephoto
Every Thursday at noon GMT, Sue publishes one of her photos as a writing prompt. Throughout the week, she features a number of the responses on the Daily Echo and, every week, a full round-up of posts is published, linking back to the original posts.

Nice cleave poem. I think they could be read as separate parts and together.
