Replying to a comment on:

The Banishment of Don Quixote (Free verse) by abecedarian

Lance broken windmill shattered a bloody pool of innocence and Don Quixote cleaning his blade - his cleft tongue newly born of a snake's taste for blood Cervantés' head held upright by the only hand that remains true, for the other has just committed an act no author can leave unpunished - its dignity and honor as false as the face of romance is to its nature. There is now only murder as the pen, dragged too deep i' the page in passion destroys all beauty and substance therein a depreciated legacy left forever unmended as Cervantés surrenders his quill to oblivion and stumbles away.

Fair enough, thanks z

I guess I'll chuck this to the shitter then. Too bad I really liked it. But I guess that happens from time to time.

The point I was trying to make is merely a question about the value of pursuing romance as an artform.

'for the pen dragged too deep i' the page in passion destroys all beauty and substance within'.
