Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

- Dust By Ancient Times -

Old dust by rusty memories
One time lace curtains in the windows
Fascinating account by a challenging life
Happiness and defeats, sunny days and freezing nights
More than an adventure; for better or worse
An image that evokes old childhood memories for many
"The happy 50s" an expression of relief that the war was over
An aura by joy and optimism ... the future
