The beautiful photo is by Hugo Díaz-Regañón.
The haiga was written for Carpe Diem: Windmill, following yesterday’s announcement on BBC News that the bones of Miguel de Cervantes have been found buried under a convent in Madrid, 400 years after his death. His creation, the chivalrous knight, Don Quixote, famously tried to fight the windmills of La Mancha, believing they were giants.
Quest for bones fulfilled –
Bare arms reaching silently,
La Mancha’s giants.

Thank you, Kristjaan. I was sitting there, pen in hand, completely stuck on what to write for your “windmill” prompt when the news story came up on the BBC. Which was convenient!
