Jenny Kissed Me

Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief! who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad;
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add-
Jenny kissed me!

by Leigh Hunt

My mother tells me that this poem was part of the inspiration for my name.

I'm home this afternoon

My stomach has been bothering me off-and-on for the last couple days, so I decided to stay home from school this afternoon. Hopefully a day of not carrying a heavy backpack all over creation will help.

Book Review: Bedlam's Edge

Bedlam's Edge
edited by Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill
copyright 2005
ISBN: 1-4165-0893-7

A collection of all new short stories, set in the universe of Lackey & Edghill's Bedlam's Bard series.

Since this is a collection of stories by different authors, it's a bit of a challenge to write a good review. One of my favorites was "Unleaving" by India Edghill, a story about a pair of young elves who are enchanted by the very human magic of the movies in the early days of Hollywood. Another that I enjoyed was "Old Order" by Michael Longcor, about an Amish man during his years of freedom falls in with a bad crowd and is rescued by his father and the elf who's grove is on the family farm. My overall favorite was "The World's More Full of Weeping" by Rosemary Edghill, about a warrior elf who has been tracking a serial killer who preys on teenagers in malls and how she finally catches and deals with him.

Rating: 8 out of 10.
