Miss Potter's Progeny

Sweet creatures sprang forth from her mind.
How loved became her progeny, 
For fate with fancy intertwined;
Sweet creatures sprang forth from her mind.
A man’s young wife she would not be, 
and yet fulfillment she would find. 
Sweet creatures sprang forth from her mind. 
How loved became her progeny

i've never heard of this Miss Potter. but maybe i'll look her up, and i know about "the real world" made in 2005, but i didn't see it.you said several yrs ago, so im not sure if you are talking about that pocahantas movie.i have not seen any movies made about her. and Eclipse was krazy, i was sad in the end when jane killed that girl bree, i also read the book about her, not so sad after i read.its funny when jacob&edward fight over bella. &somehow i feel victorias pain.but james was krazy.

Luna is fickle, Andrea. The moon waxes and wanes. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. There is a line in Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet tells Romeo not to pledge his love by "the inconstant moon." That's where I took my lead.
