that looks absolutely terrifying, love the Haiku but that contraption would give me nightmares!
I agree - what a windmill!
EEEEEEK!! (The ride, not the poetry) Good stuff.
That windmill's never going to grind flour! Clever haiku.
Dizzying heights and the wind at the top will surely blow me away!! Well thought!!
I never would have thought of this kind of windmill--and I certainly wouldn't think of riding it!
No Windmill Here!
What a crazy dizzy windmill it is ~
Oh I like this very much. Windmills marking the passing of time and live. Beautiful words and images.

Great haiku, scary windmill.
I second Mj on this one. scary windmill :P :D
I'll pass on riding on that contraption, Gemma! No thanks.
Great Haiku!
Well that's different...
I certainly wouldn't want to take a ride on that "windmill;" I don't like carnival rides that attempt to part me from my meal and belongings. ;)
Great poem, though. :)
