A friend says that I live in Cloud Cuckoo Land with a fanciful
imagination and unsatisfied desires. This is true. There are so many things I would like to do in life but feel held back by fears or lack of funds, courage, time, skills and talents! Maybe this is the same for everyone?
Although I
know what the phrase means I thought I would turn to my great educator, the
world wide web, and so Wiki says:
The reference
comes from The Birds, a
play by Aristophanes in
which Tereus helps
Pisthetairos ("Mr. Trusting") and Euelpides ("Mr. Hopeful")
erect a perfect city in the clouds, to be named Cloud Cuckoo Land. That is just so
fascinating. I have improved the
poem for the friend:
Cloud Cuckoo
Land perfection is grand.
Hinting that I may, be unaware or fey,
Deranged and marginised, naive on every side.
Hinting that I may, be unaware or fey,
Deranged and marginised, naive on every side.
Ever an optimist, it's true, happy is better than the horrid blues,
Living needs a hint of hope, than to go to bed and mope!
Life is lovely in a daisy dream world, more fun than being an unhappy bunny girl
When reality brings me to earth with a fall, Lovelier to have dreamed than not dreamed at all.
