I have taught that book in English as well as Spanish.
The only possible review should read as follows"This is my quest,to follow that star,no matter how hopeless no matter how far".
"to dream the impossible dream."

Thank you poetbear. Yes, that's the perfect review.

That was a nice whimsical take on the Don Quixote story. I guess, they were quite bewildered by the things on wheels. Good rhyming, use of language and smooth flow. Enjoyable read. Faye

Both a nice image and a nice poem.

I can feel maybe a bit more underneath the words that maybe I am just failing to empathise with. If so, maybe there is another poem beneath the poem?

Thank you Erik, if you know the story of Don Quixote it harken back to their character personalities.

I enjoyed your rhymed sestets and your updating the tilting- at-windmills story with our time-traveling friends! Thanks for sharing your photo as well. Brilliant!- Joan

Great one from you friend!
It's indeed a great write
Good rhyme scheme with a matching syllable scheme
But I do sense there might be a little adjustment needed in the second line of the second stanza
"The windmills that you tilt at aren't in sight"
I see this as an eleven syllables, while the rest are ten syllables each.
I might be wrong, because English differ to some people; like different names to a particular thing, and pronunciation differ also to a particular word...

Thank you MagKing. Hmm, that must be the case, as i scan only 10. I appreciate you wonderful review and the high reward that a rank of 6 represents.

What a clever idea, to present the Don's thoughts in poetry!

The odd pair do look a bit of an anachronism, don't they?

Enjoyed, Tom.

I hope that folks did not read the author notes first so that they could have that "quixotic" moment. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court- why not bring Quixote to the future? It would be hilarious. Poor Sancho.

I love the humour and the repartee of this wonderful poem, to see a statue like this and write that sort of response is talent indeed, well done.

I enjoyed this well-written poem. The dialogue is wonderful.

You should send a copy to the city fathers (and mothers) of Minneapolis. I'm sure they'll be tickled.

Your photograph is great. Love it!

A delightful response to the bizarre placement of this famous pair! I was re-reading Don Quixote last year and so the delightful relationship between him and Sancho Panza is still quite fresh in my mind! Your poem captures its essence to a T.
