Lydia

[anirbas]

She be wee and small
Though bravely fierce and stubborn
As others are tall
A rubber ball of a child
Always bounce bounce bounce bouncing

Smile bright as the sun
Floating bubbles of giggles
Unless she's sulking
She becomes thundercloud dark
An offended fighting queen

Tiny in stature
Big and bold with attitude
Not a trace of fear
Standing up to the giants
In her wee four year old world

[artolmaeus]

reminds me of female Chihuahuas as they often seem to become the alphas of a group of dogs in a household, such a short poem that opens doors

Small, concise, with some humor.

A nice wee piece...

Thanks for the reads and comments, Artol and Darkness. She is small and concise and like an alpha chihuahua, often has her pack on their toes. She is Lydia, our granddaughter and she is a force to be reckoned with. Less than 3 feet tall, but, she doesn't know it.

I rarely hear Calliope these days, or any Muses for that matter. Haha. But, Lydia had me cracked up with laughter and at the end of my rope the other day. And a tiny, tiny thread of inspiration unwound itself in my head. Just a flicker.

more laughter, more cowbell!

[anirbas]

More cowbell about to sound, Jam. LoL
