There is one form of writing every school-aged pony dreads learning about. One form of writing so full of abstract metaphors and varied interpretations that it can drive the most level-headed pony mad.
Poetry.
Now, the Cutie Mark Crusaders have one night to write a poem which they are due to present the following day in class. Will they get it done, or will false information about the weather be their downfall?

It was entertaining, and I don't have a strong I for errors, so I didn't see any. I have heard it before and had been able to apply this lesson to my life. I might be a lot better off by now.
It was quite good actually. I really enjoyed this one.
Do you ever write poetry yourself?

I actually used to. I don't have much against writing it, I just hated learning it in high school because of how ambiguous it all was.

Better late than never, right? lol I think most of us should heed this lesson more often.
This should be fun! Will put this on my amazingly short Read Later list.
For the moment: in the description, "Poetry" needs an exclamation point or period after it, and "or will false information about the weather be their downfall." needs a question mark at the end, not a period.

Thanks for the advice, I fixed it up
I hope you enjoy it when you get around to reading it. I know it's ridiculously long
Finally finished it up, I like the story and the end. Before I read your note, I was thinking, "He wrote this like it was supposed to be an episode!" so you did well in that regard.
I like the revisions you made to the first section, and the beat poetry part was a really good touch.
Readability was good, as usual. As you say, it's long, but it's a comprehensively told story. If you were inclined to do so, I think it'd be possible to reduce the length without cutting any scenes or really affecting the feel of the story, but I know you wanted to just post and go on this one. I saw a few grammar/punctuation errors, and a few words that didn't quite fit for where you used them, but nothing that took away from the story itself- that's just my picky side coming through.
You have a great feel for writing comedic scenes, and strike a good balance between outlandish and believability. Great story!

Thanks man, always love hearing your feedback. Glad you enjoyed it
liking it so far. also the title being a reference to Dead Poets Society gives it huge rep in my book
Just got done reading. I deem this worthy of Twilight's Library!

Thanks. And yeah it was a great movie, plus I love making titles that are homages to things like movies.

1932573 I especially liked Scootaloo playing her bongos

Heh. Read this fanfic without seeing it in the incoming folder, liked it, and was going to add it to Twilight's Library when I saw you'd added it a few minutes ago.
I never thought poetry was an "unbearable" subject in school.
But whatever. I think this story is interesting enough to keep me invested for at least another chapter.
What a coincidence, look what I found:

Think Fast, Diamond Tiara!
The "Void of Procrastination" happens to me a lot.
I highly recommend you stop making Rainbow visually terrified and a jerk or I'll summon everybody that worships the god of all pegasi (RainbowDash) and make you understand why some decent stories get some upside-down thumbs.
ANDIAMO!!!
Bwahahaha.

Good story so far. May I say that your references to the show were pleasant and unobtrusive, and actually helped me get a sense of how the characters were acting/behaving. Also, and this is very rare, when I read your dialogue it felt so believable that I could hear the character’s voices in my head. The bits about procrastination... classic you, if you don't mind me saying so. There were a few punctuation things, but it only took away from the readability a little bit.
CMC, do your homework.

Thanks man, I'm happy you enjoyed it, and that the dialogue was show-like (my main goal in writing this was to frame it like an episode, like practice if I get into screenwriting)

I didn't think it was that long, well maybe at the end but otherwise a good read. Congrats on getting into Twilight's library
2376808
Thanks dude
2576722
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.
AND I'm especially happy I managed to succeed in making it in the style of the show.
2576689 ...No, I didn't do that on purpose.
I love fedoras
I'm not kidding, I'm pretty much obsessed with them
This gets a thumbs up just for that
2642809
Haha, I could tell by the pic on your profile. But yeah, I actually never got that into them but a ton of my friends in high school wore them. Plus fedoras seem to fit poets and I don't know why. Maybe because it makes them look classy.
2642827
Fedoras are the classiest hat.
1932559 indeed, that is my favorite film. Made me want to become a writer.
5383206
it's one of my favorites as well.
Great story.
I assume Rainbow mixed up her am and pm. Should face palm be face hoof?
Dogs can’t look up?
