Rarity cosplayer, writer, and all-around amateur
Zecora's friends in Ponyville don't know anything about the mysterious zebra mare's past. She sits alone in her cottage every night and writes a letter to her daughter. She hasn't seen Zinnia since she was a foal, but that doesn't stop Zecora from missing her.
This is a one-shot, so there probably won't be more unless I feel like expanding on this idea. The letter is written as a poem, in keeping with Zecora's rhyming.

This is an interesting idea for zecora's past. Short, sweet and to the point, well done

On, go on with you, sir!
I just wanted an excuse to use the name Zinnia. The whole thing took about twenty minutes- ten to write it, and another ten to come up with enough filler for the second chapter to pass the word minimum. Good thing Twilight's a chatterbox.
Oh gosh, the feels man...
A stanza or two seemed a little off, but this was a wonderful piece and I am in love with your writing style. This is such a creative premiss for a story, and I applaud both your originality and its execution. 
I would really love to see a sequel to this or something. Like Zecora getting upset and confiding in Twilight about her daughter and why she left her... Or something. Aaahhhhh I just want to know more about her past in this its so good, and it really tugs at the heart strings!

Thank you so much! This is what makes writing this stuff worth it! I'm thrilled you like it. 
Wow!
VERY similar to one line of a story that I'm working on, thou with me while Zecora leaving her daughter (unnamed) behind was a very difficult thing, it was the best thing for her. Zecora was a fugitive and needed to get out of the country fast. If she tried to take her daughter, it was unlikely either of them would make it, and Zecora had no clue where she was going or if she could take care of a one year old child, but if she left her where she was she'd be safe, cared for, educated ect.
Quite good; would be better with some explanation though. Also take out the last line, it doesn't add anything and "Happy birthday, Zinnia." is a much more powerful ending.

Wait a sec, are you saying you wrote this whole story in to minutes? if you did chapter one that fast that is INCREDIBLE. Even if you only wrote the second part it that long that's still impressive. If I'm writing well I do about 1k an hour, and I do a lot of writing.
