Bio:

Light Heart


I'm a glorified secretary who's been writing since I was nine years old.  I can write just about anything, and I also like to read nearly everything.  I try to be fair, and when I can't be fair, I try to be nice.


I started out writing Fan Fiction, and even after I'm published, I think I'll still write it.  I love to write, and I also do photography.  It's an ambition of mine to write books with my pictures in them.

The Charge of the Light Brigade


by Alfred Tennyson.


Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!" he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.


Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.


Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.


Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not,
Not the six hundred.


Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.


When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honor the charge they made!
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!


A message about honor and courage.

That was very good.  It was cute, poignant, and I loved reading about Edward and Jasper together.

Thanks for writing it!

Though only a one-shot, this story was very touching and as an animal lover, I can relate when you're caring for a sick animal.  I really liked reading this, and I loved that it was in Edward's perspective.  There aren't many of them, and not many writers take a chance to write through his eyes.

Thanks for writing this.  It was very good.



Author's Response:

I really enjoy writing Edward's POV.  Sometimes his voice is very strong in my head.  I am really glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!  Thank you for reviewing, I really appreciate that you took the time to let me know what you think.
