Little Bits

by Loganberry

Seussless (flashfic; Comedy; Twilight)

I do not like the frozen days,
I do not like earth pony ways.
I would not, could not, lie to you:
I rather envy Ditzy Doo
Who flew the wrong way in the snow,
Returning much too late to go
And help the other pegasi
To clear the clouds and clean the sky.

Okay, I know it all worked out;
I’m still annoyed. (Hey, Spike! Don’t pout!
A number one assistant must,
To earn his gem-embellished crust,
Be there for me when I’m alone
And really need a little moan.)
My Winter Mess Up days, I hope,
Are past – can I forget them? Nope!

But something makes me more upset
(I haven’t told the Princess yet!),
Which is: I’ve seemingly replaced
Young Amethyst, who had embraced
Reality: this town is not
A magic place like Canterlot.
And now, I’m painfully aware,
I’m Purple Organiser Mare!

Author's Note:

Set just after S1E11. Honourable mention in the March 2016 UK of Equestria flashfic contest, which had a 150-word limit and the prompt "Wrapping Up Winter".

Awesomely anapestic. And Twilight shouldn't fret; Amethyst may have been the self-proclaimed "best organizer in Ponyville," but she still couldn't wrap up winter on time.

Thanks! Was not expecting the HR, but I'll take it!

Also yes, I know I need to write stuff. I'm planning on actually doing some of that this year!
