Are you a poet?

Of course you are. Or, at least you think you are. Or you say you aren't and commit poetry in secret. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We all do that. Except me. I don't do that weird stuff. Sheesh.

Anyway. How about you turn this dark secret of yours into something good?

What I mean is: why don't we, as a group, write a lot of good-quality OctaScratch and other jazzy filly-fooling poetry?

Hmm?

Why not write it?

2527832 Such as a haiku?

Bow moves on the strings
Creating beautiful song
For the world to enjoy

Two music artists
One a DJ, one a cellist
Fall in blissful love

That's beautiful.

2528491 Why thank you. I've always liked haiku poetry, and I'm good at writing it. Shall I collect these poems and publish 'em?

Dubstep, orchestra
Classical, electronica
Combine in sweet harmony

I would definitely read it. I was thinking of making a huge multi-author collab story of poetry of different genres, but... I dunno if people would do that.

2528541 I'll make and publish a nice little collection of pony haikus anyway, just for the hay of it. Thanks for the watch, by the way.

You're welcome. Looking forward to it.

In this time of winter when your coat blows across the sky
Those fluffy lumps, rumbling with sparking anger
I can't help but think of how you left, Octavia

We were love embodied, free spirits, singing a cadence
It was harmonious
Then I sang with another

One mistake. One act of adultery
I'm left ashamed, hollow, broken
What did I leave you?

I don't know
Now you're gone
And I just don't know

Perhaps some day we'll meet again
Redemption may shine, love may come
The song will start again

I hurt you, Octavia
I miss you, Octavia
I love you! Octavia...

You know who else like haikus? Zero.

Bor-ed, bor-ed, bored / Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored / I am really bored.
This is the story / All about how my life got / Flipped, turned upside-down.
Oh, what? Yeah, what, bitch? / Yeah, I just slapped you and stuff. / What you gonna do?
I am bored as hell / I would like to kill something / Can we friggin go?
