I could shrink down to pocket size, And be left on a jar on his desk. So long he never loved another, I'd be happy if he gave me crumbs And a thimble to drink from. And even if he gave his heart away, So long he always held me in his hands, Made me feel like the smallest thing, I'd be happy if he gave me buttons And a spool to sit on. And perhaps some day he'd See me as the smallest thing, The greatest thing in all the world, And I'd be happy if he gave me smiles And a kiss to grow on. |

Fifth in my series of faerie and folktale inspired poetry.
This one is loosely inspired by Hans Christian Anderson's "Thumbelina," and Francesca Lia Block's adaption of the story, "Tiny." |

 reports, 1d 18h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.59 WE.LOVE.ART.FEATURE.VII.HOLIDAY.SPECIAL.~allieweasley
