Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

- Small But Big Enough -

Small and round ?
No, I'm just big enough
Why be big when you're happy as little
I am a cheerful lady in my prime

You know, the mice are cute - but very naive
So full of wonder

The fire flies in the dark are a bit creepy
Two yellow staring eyes ... who is it ?
The cat is waiting for a meal
Always scared of the claws of the bad cat

Still I am among the living
Probably I have been a lion in an earlier life
One who carries many lives from bursting stars
Maybe I'm talking from a strange mouth
I give you my handshake, it proves my courage







- Morality: - You mean a lot, regardless of size or shape 
                - Courage to live and enjoy
