Zecora’s granddaughter can think of no other
Who can tell of her grandpa quite like her grandmother.

A tale of the past, or for us, what may be
The future of the Zebra in the Everfree.

For editing, Shahrazad played the part.
Norm provided the cover art.


From the start of The Crimson-Verse this story does hail
But it also serves as a stand-alone tale.

Aww that's so sweet:raritystarry:

I can’t wait for next time, my dear, sweet Zecora…

What? I don't get it.

5780846 Simply put, the granddaughter was named after her. Hopefully that clears it up.

5780861 AAaah like Greek Grandparents do to their grandchildren.

5780876 Basically. This story was written because aside from my wanting to write a story in rhyme, it serves as a prequel to a story I've written that is already finished, but can't be released yet because it is a side story to one of my main stories still in progress, and I need to wait to publish the side story until I reach a certain point in the main one. It may not be for a while, but when I get there, the story will be released.

Finally got my lazy ass off its… uhhh, ass? and read this. Good job with Zecora, mate. Though it is funny as some of the rhyming words don't work at all, depending on one's accent.

Nothing that kills it, just having to mash a word into rhyming changes the internal monologue 'accent' rather jarringly. :rainbowlaugh:

Also, that chapter title, all I can hear is the tune to Tale as Old as Time.

5813301 Haha yeah, sometimes you need to throw away the normal emphasis and give the rhythm the benefit of the doubt lol. Nothing is perfect.

And actually, the chapter title was originally the story title, but I didn't think it would be as catchy.
I bet Zecora would've had some interesting conversations with Mrs. Potts...

I had myself a very good time,
Reading this story you wrote in rhyme.
At first I think I had some doubt,
But you went and turned my opinion about.
Your talent in writing is quite good,
Even if you're often misunderstood.

Now don't stop writing, I mean it!
Anybody want a peanut?

That comment you made was very nice! :pinkiehappy:
I hope you don't mind if my response is concise. :raritywink:
In my writing I do indeed take pride. :twilightsmile:
By the way, nice reference from The Princess Bride! :rainbowlaugh:

I say! Jolly good read, old boy.

Nice story and I really liked how you handled the rhyming by having more then one character contribute to some

This was so wonderful! I loved the story, and little Zecora was so cute! Not speaking of a pony unless they're there is a really nice virtue, actually.

I don't think I could write a whole story in rhyme. :twilightblush:

Thank you! :twilightsmile: Rhyming poetry has always been my favorite kind, even though I've done multiple styles. If you liked this one, you might like my other rhyming story.

I don't think I could write a whole story in rhyme.

Actually, you probably could. Yes, it can be difficult, but this site is a rhyming poet's best friend. :rainbowlaugh:
