Thanks to Keith, Emeka and Brian for their comments and to everyone for the likes.

Keith, thanks for the story from more innocent days. I remember working on something similar with friends as a boy, but I don't think we got as far as trying it. Emeka, you are right and we should all follow our dreams. Brian, I'll pass on the advice - it might just make the difference!

Flying is possible and to fly is to remain undeterred.

Stephen,

this poem conjures up all sorts of chaotic images in my mind. My brother and I, when young, tried to convert his bicycle into a winged kite in the hope that we could take to the air as we sped down a grassy slope. We ended up in a huge muddy puddle. Since then I have stayed with reputable airlines.

An enjoyable poem and thank you for this.

Keith
