For Shay’s Friday Prompt…Ask a question The question is from one of my favorite books ever by Philip K. Dick. It also spawned two of my favorite movies – Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Gaff: “Its too bad she wont live, but then again who does?”
Do flowers dream while they sleep
curled up in cold winter’s soil?
Do cicadas dream while waiting to hatch
seven years hence?
Do birds dream as they sit on their nests
waiting for their eggs to hatch?
Do stars whisper secrets to each other
as they glide in their courses?
Is the moon sad when she goes dark
and reflects not the sun in her darkness?
so many questions I have.
Yet no answers do I receive.
I beg the sky, the night, the dew for answers.
Yet no answers do I receive.
Do Androids dream of electric sheep?
Only Philip K. Dick knew the answer to that.

This is good, but I kept longing for it to rhyme
Mar 14, 2019 @ 15:49:22
LOL. I don’t do rhymes and neither does Philip K. Dick.

So many questions, Toni. I wonder if Philip K. Dick has all the answers.
Mar 14, 2019 @ 15:49:50
He had the answer to the one. I don’t know about the rest.
Mar 14, 2019 @ 15:57:19
Oh goodness, so many fabulous questions to ponder!
Mar 14, 2019 @ 15:59:29
I love this Toni!
Mar 14, 2019 @ 16:26:48
Thank you Lynda.

You know I put that in there just for you! Some questions are complete in the asking, I think, and it’s more fun to contemplate what the answers might be than to have them spelled out on granite slabs, yes?
Mar 14, 2019 @ 16:26:32
Yes!
Mar 14, 2019 @ 16:27:26
And then there are the questions we pray we will never hear the answers to or that the answer will be no.
Mar 14, 2019 @ 16:50:02
I have actually asked many of these questions. I enjoyed this.
Mar 14, 2019 @ 20:13:07
Thank you. I hope you get some answers and share them

Ha, I had trees dreaming in my poem………I love yours, so many questions and as Shay says, nice to ponder our own answers………..
Mar 14, 2019 @ 22:12:38
Am actually glad that question has an answer… which I now have to read and discover!!!
Mar 14, 2019 @ 22:34:07
The book is very different from the movies. But I love Dick. I actually think one if his better novels is The Man in the High Castle.

good questions, all ~

I beg the sky, the night, the dew for answers.. I can relate to this line myself!
Many original questions to ponder here.
Mar 16, 2019 @ 14:15:02
Yes ma’am. I think strange thoughts at times.
Mar 16, 2019 @ 23:58:46
Nice question, Toni. I think bunches of them do dream because I have watched my dogs as they sleep. They clearly have thoughts while awake as they move, make noises, or even growl. For sure if you see a bird falling from the nest they have been having nightmares. Ask your dog or a friends dog if you don’t have one.

Oops, while sleeping, not awake.
