Rhapsody in Ronda, a Sonnet

Sage, mountain air,
Rosemary, rosemary.
Kestrel, eagle owl and
Pine.
Rilke, Hemingway and Welles,
Set their sights on the gorge,
Fought bull, wrote, died
And soared.
Prose, poem and rhapsody
Achieve harmony in the flow
Of cloud and stream
Emanating from the Tajo.
Arabic, Germanic and
Romance, divine mosaic of language and culture.
