Flying Dreams
28 January, 2007
Author: Bipedalguy
I can fly. I don't know how or why.
Should I care, when below, clouds go by.
Last time I flew like this
I awoke, but now insist,
My last dream has come true. I can fly.
------- Author's Notes -------
I find it amusing how the mind works in dreams. |

| Meridian (152.163.100.5) -- Monday, January 29 2007, 12:30 am So you can fly? This poem reminded me of that hit R. Kelly made in the '90s..."I believe I can fly." But it's different with you. You can. Wow. You should be in the Guiness Book of World Records. The first ever limmerick man to grow wings. All in all, like the rest, wonderful limmerick. Keep em' coming. :) |

(a flying dream) What gets me is that I am always conscious (within the dream) of how past flying dreams turned out to be just "dreams". When having the new dream, I never consider that THIS ONE ALSO could be just another dream. |
| Bipedalguy (4.156.24.235) -- Wednesday, January 31 2007, 12:35 am In my flying dreams I never have wings. That's why the Limerick says "I don't know how or why". I also fly very low. (usually) With me, this flying thing is simply a solution to the problem of transportation. I keep going in the direction I choose, and never have to flap wings, (don't have any) and I don't come down until I'm where I want to be. It may be that this is an answer to one of my main frustrations in life. (getting to where I want to be.) |
| barb (67.58.198.11) -- Wednesday, January 31 2007, 01:21 am In my dreams Bip I have no voice but manage to communicate with others Wierd how are dreams project our frustrations and wishes of life eh.Your writing gets you around you are in Canada right now lol. |
| Bipedalguy (4.156.129.49) -- Wednesday, January 31 2007, 01:33 am Don't get around so much any more. I like it here though. Did you read "Natalia's Excellent Hearing"? I thought that may be where you heard about me in being Canada. It is indeed interesting about how our dreams relate to our frustrations. Thanks |
| Terrie* (66.81.130.250) -- Saturday, February 3 2007, 04:48 am Bip, i truely enjoyed this,always an honor to read you.. reminds me of one of my favorite Christian songs by Mark Harris; For the First Time-I'm ready to jump , ready to Fly for the first time ~I believe you cain Fly~ |
| Bipedalguy (4.156.126.167) -- Sunday, February 4 2007, 06:21 pm Thanks, Terrie* I'll have to try to find some of Mark Harris's songs. About the line "For the first time- I'm ready to jump, ....." Is that from Mark Harris? If not, If you ever think you can fly, be sure you start out at ground level and gain altitude from there. Too many people have committed themselves by jumping from a high place. A friend of mine, when very young, jumped from his attic window with a beach umbrella. It didn't work as a parachute. He broke his leg. |
| Terrie* (66.81.130.192) -- Monday, February 5 2007, 12:05 am Yes the words are in Mark Harris' song...NOT MINE ~smile~ trust me... only my heart cain fly ,not i....thanx ... |
| Bipedalguy (4.156.51.167) -- Wednesday, February 7 2007, 08:30 pm I'm glad that you won't test your flying ability by starting from height. The line about jumping probably fits into the song quite well. I don't seem to have any new ideas for Limericks right now. I hope I get some ideas soon. |
| Ing Twi Demalah (159.105.102.6) -- Friday, March 2 2007, 11:58 pm This is a wonderful example of dreams. Fantastic and indeed i believe I have this same dream a few times a month. Wonder if we fly over the same clouds? This was great up lifting to know others have these dreams as well. I quote the old saying...."only in their dreams, can men be truly free. Twas always thus and always thus will be..." |
| Bipedalguy (4.156.51.22) -- Saturday, March 3 2007, 01:11 am I have noticed that your poems are outstanding. Now, I must say that you also write first rate comments. Thanks again. I am curious about your name, and wonder about its origin. I just realized that my own pen name might arouse some curiosity. |
| Ing Twi Demalah (159.105.102.64) -- Saturday, March 3 2007, 08:37 pm My pen name is african in origin and means "He Who Greets With Fire." It was the name of a Lion that was featured on national geographic actually. I am a fan of the great cats, Tigers and Lions I find a perfect mix of elegance and strength. This particular lions was called this because he was the"Hyena Killer." Now, as to why I took the name, well it seemed to fit me. For though young I myself try to be a man of chivalry. Thus I greet the evils of this world with the fire of my wrath and those I care for with the fire of my passion and my love. Does this answer your question my friend? Feel free to ask if there is anything else you wish to know. Be blessed my fellow poet. |
| Bipedalguy (4.156.51.105) -- Saturday, March 3 2007, 09:22 pm Thanks for the excellent explanation of your name, and yes, it does answer my question. It's a very interesting name. I'm honored that you called me friend and poet, and may you also be blessed. |
