This is actually a merging of two poems that I wrote years ago dedicated to Applejack, and the Apple family too I suppose. Each of the poems combined don't make the 1,000 word limit so I had to add extra verses. There is a clear narrative element contained within the poem, featuring characters from MLP:FiM, so I thought i'd try uploading it here. I don't get much feedback for my art, and doubly so for my writings, so I wanted to get my poetry out there
Applejack is a very important character to me, and it seems as though her virtues are easily glossed over. I felt that I had to play my part to show the fandom how wonderful she really is. She's a friend, a sister, a granddaughter, a carer, a cook, a farmer, a sales pony, and a beautiful, honest soul. Applejack is the loyalest of friends, and the most dependable of ponies.
So today I decided to make a fimfiction account and post this new and improved composite poem as my first story.
I think the same way.
Sweet and short.
reminds me of the children's books my grandma used to read to me. Fitting, considering the heart-warming content
4610255 Thanks CrissyMinty45! But I guess it's people's loss if they don't like Applejack, since there'll be more AJ to enjoy for us.
I was a bit disheartened to see some anti- Applejack groups here, but free speech and all that.
4610934 Thank you very much saloony78! It probably seems short for you fimfiction veterans, but writing a poem that exceeds 1,000 words seemed long to me! Thanks for taking the time to read my story and i'm glad you liked it!
4610987 Indeed! Thanks for the kind words Eyvind, and its nice to hear that my story nostalgically brought story time with your grandma to mind. Did she read you any Dr. Seuss? My poetic style heavily borrows from his style, so maybe that's a large contributing factor.
4611244 It was kinda like Dr. Seuss, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and A Light in the Attic all rolled into one.
4611422 Hey, thanks a lot JB von Herb! You flatter me! I just hope that I did them all justice.
Btw, love your avatar. Is that the moment from the Rivendell scene in 'Fellowship of the Ring', where Bilbo succumbs to the power of the one ring? The sequence that immediately follows is so moving.
Beautiful and brilliant poetry for AJ
, she is the best pony and you've done her proud here 
4630067 Thank you so much fimfic4ever! I most definitely agree that Applejack is a magnificent pone, but I am very biased in that regard.
It really means a lot for you to say that I honoured Applejack sufficiently. Even though I feel that I continually improve with my craft, I often feel that it's not good enough especially for a beautiful pony like Applejack.
Thanks again, and sorry for the late reply.
4637704 You're welcome, just giving well earned praise
I think you've done a fantastic job here, I look forward to seeing what you do next
A late reply's better than no reply, 'cause some people wouldn't even bother, but I like it when writers reply, it's always nice talking to my fellow bronies, especially when they share my views on AJ
Beautifully done. Out of all the fan art and fiction I've read, this is definitely one of my all-time favorites.
4705646 Well shucks, thank you so much getmeouttahere! I'm really glad that you enjoy my work so much, and i'm sorry for the late reply.
I've only been doing art and writing for about two years and i've still got a long way to go, but thanks for your support. I am very interested in my audience's feedback and it motivates me to do more, and i'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you hold my work in such high regard.
