What is it about Equestria… · 1:01pm Oct 16th, 2019
…that keeps moving one to add stanzas about it to existing songs and poems? Or is that just me?
Anyway, now that I have two of these, and am seriously doubtful that I'll ever have occasion to use either of them in any larger context, I figured I'd share them with you here. Enjoy. (The original sources are in the tags.)
The folk who live in Ponyville, their hearts are on their flanks;
Their spirits overflow them, like the Suir in spring its banks.
They blazon forth their souls, they do, for all the worlds to see,
Wherefore I do salute them as the flowers of chivalry.
For I come from Castlepatrick, and my heart is on my sleeve,
And a lady stole it from me on Saint Ippolito's Eve.
I'm the three who came together
To break the winter's chill;
We preserved our world through friendship,
And that duty marks us still.
I'm the steward of the seasons,
I'm the steerer of the sun -
I'm a pony - I'm a promise:
I am Equestrian.
