Fluttershy's Haiku Journal

by hazeyhooves

December

~ Dec 1 ~

Cat stares intently
At this one board in the floor
Clumps of snow fall down

~ Dec 2 ~

Cicada larvae
Tunnels far below the frost
Not ready to sing?

~ Dec 3 ~

Fixing a snow cloud
In between her winter naps.
Always in a rush.

~ Dec 4 ~

Snow-covered treetops
The rustling and gossiping
Of a hundred crows

~ Dec 5 ~

Pinkie's brand new
Coconut hot cocoa!
Absorbed by her scarf

~ Dec 6 ~

Rodent nibble marks
At the bottom of the trunk.
Endless winter skies.

~ Dec 7 ~

Withering branches
Clattering past hooves and teeth...
Too stubborn to fall

~ Dec 8 ~

Numbing chilly air.
Applebloom wraps bandages
On Scootaloo's knees.

~ Dec 9 ~

Granny Smith mumbling,
Wrinkles covered in white paint
Glaring winter sun

~ Dec 10 ~

Sweet apple acres...
How do you find the borders
When the fruits are gone?

~ Dec 11 ~

Hopping chickadees,
The big stallion of few words
Fixes a fence beam

~ Dec 12 ~

A filly's first shoes:
Old Hearth's Warming gift she keeps
But can't remember

~ Dec 13 ~

Rattling northern wind,
Saplings have to grow up strong
Hugged by wooden stakes

~ Dec 14 ~

The scent of old straw
Drying in the charcoal's glow
She quietly waits...

~ Dec 15 ~

Slice of apple tart
Warmed by a glowing sunbeam.
Window frosted shut

~ Dec 16 ~

Restless young fieldmouse
Not needed in the orchards,
Go hibernate more

~ Dec 17 ~

A soft shell of snow
Hides away Equestria.
Blue and green blankets

~ Dec 18 ~

~ Dec 19 ~

Tired bunny
Between the cold floor
And winter sun

~ Dec 20 ~

Book finished:
To Be Continued
Early sunset

~ Dec 21 ~

Somewhere in the snow,
Miss squirrel's forgotten seeds.
Completely useless.

~ Dec 22 ~

~ Dec 23 ~

~ Dec 24 ~

Paperwork prison,
Even the mayor waits for
The end of the year

~ Dec 25 ~

Hearth's Warming carols
Where nopony else can hear:
Drowned out by the crowd.

~ Dec 26 ~

~ Dec 27 ~

~ Dec 28 ~

~ Dec 29 ~

~ Dec 30 ~

~ Dec 31 ~

Pinkie stretching out
In a field of withered grass.
Warm tea and cupcakes.

Lovely update.

[Ice Star]

The blank ones are rather unsettling.

This. This is some beautiful stuff. Some lovely stuff. Simple and incredibly meaningful.

Maybe I'm blind, but where's the Flarity?
