> The Poetry > by eggomaplesoup > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One: The Perfect Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A unicorn walks into a park, sitting on a bench, while she grabs her poetry letter and a pen ink, and writes: In the heart of the city where ponies flock, Stands a place of solace, the park, a trusted rock. Amidst the towering buildings, nature takes hold, A haven of greenery, a sight to behold. Birds singing melodies, sweet and serene, In the park, their chorus creates a magical scene. Children's laughter echoes, and joy fills the air, As they chase butterflies without worry or care. The scent of blossoms wafts on a gentle breeze, Tickling our senses, putting our minds at ease. Towering trees provide shade from the sun's heat, Inviting us to rest, to take a quiet seat. Families gather, picnic baskets in tow, Enjoying each other's company, letting tensions go. Frisbees fly, dogs chase balls, a shared zest, Connecting with loved ones, feeling truly blessed. Bikers pedaling by, on their daily route, Joggers breaking a sweat, pushing through to the hoot. Couples strolling hoof in hoof, love in their eyes, The park embraces all, love is never denied. As the sun sets and darkness unfolds the skyline, The park takes on a mystique, a tranquil sign. Glowing lanterns illuminate pathways and trails, Guiding those seeking solace where all worry pales. In the park, our troubles are left at the gate, As we immerse ourselves in beauty, our minds are liberated. For those within these green borders, there's profound peace, A slice of paradise, where true happiness is found. So let us cherish this haven, our beloved park, For it nurtures our souls, even in the dark. Let it remind us of the beauty nature brings, And the peace that resides within all living things. The unicorn puts her poetry letter away and stands up as she kept walking she bumps into an earth pony. "Oh, I'm so sorry." The earth pony smiled at her. "It's fine, it was my fault for bumping into you." The unicorn chuckled. "My name is Sunflower Blush, and you?" The earth pony stares at her. "Well, Sunflower Blush my name is Sunrise Bush." Sunflower smiles at him. "Nice to meet you." "You too." He says. As the two ponies walked around the block, they stopped by an ice cream shop they stared at each other and nodded, and entered the ice cream shop. "What would you like?" The cashier asked. "I would like a chocolate fudge in a bowl," Sunflower says. "I would like a mint chocolate chip in a bowl as well," Sunrise says, and he turns to stare at her. "You can sit and wait while I get our ice cream." Sunflower nods and sits at a table, but then she gets out her poetry letter and a pen ink and writes: In the summer's sizzling heat, A frozen treat that can't be beaten, Delighting youngsters and the old, With flavors that never grow old. Scoops and swirls of creamy delight, A rainbow of colors, a joyful sight, Vanilla, chocolate, and everything in between, Tantalizing taste buds, a dessert queen. From waffle cones to sugar bowls, Ice cream soothes our weary souls, A spoonful of joy, a sweet refrain, Melting worries away, like a summer rain. Sundaes are piled high with toppings galore, Cherries, sprinkles, and so much more, Bananas, nuts, and caramel sauce, Each bite is an adventure, a perfect pause. Ice cream trucks on neighborhood streets, Children's laughter and joy complete, Running with change, eager to buy, Their icy treasure, putting a sparkle in their eye. Ice cream socials, a sweet delight, Gathered 'round, under the moon's soft light, Savoring each bite, conversations in bloom, A creamy confection, friendship's gentle groom. From soft serve to gelato's embrace, Ice cream has a special place, In our hearts and memories, forever it'll stay, A frozen happiness, come what may. After she wrote her poetry letter, she notices Sunrise carrying her and his ice cream and putting it on the table. "Sorry for the long wait." Sunflower chuckles. "It's okay, I understand." After a whole day of Sunflower and Sunrise spending time with each other, they both went back into their own houses. As Sunflower walked into her house. She jumped on her bed and screamed in excitement. "I can't believe I met a boy! I'm not going to be alone anymore!" She keeps shouting for excitement. She then suddenly blushes. "I think I might have fallen for him." She then shakes her head. "No. We just met! There's no way you can fall in love with somepony that fast." She then sighs and gets out her poetry letter and her pen ink and she tries to think of something she then comes up with an idea and writes: In a world of verses long and deep, Where amorous tales gracefully seep, There lived a poet with an ink-stained quill, Whose heart yearned for love, a passionate thrill. One day, amid a sun-drenched maze, His eyes met hers in a radiant haze, Love's symphony played, a vibrant score, As he danced in the throes he'd never felt before. With every word he eloquently penned, Their love story gracefully would ascend, Like rivers of prose flowing from his soul, Their connection, a melody destined to enroll. He painted pictures with descriptive lines, As if their love was nature’s design, The stars aligned in celestial grace, Guiding them together, binding every trace. Each verse is a testament to their first sight, Melting hearts like candles in the night, His sonnets whispered secrets deep, Of longing, desire, and promises to keep. With every stanza, their love grew strong, Beautiful words swirled in his passionate song, He painted portraits of their dreams so brightly, In long poetry of love, fiery and igniting. Their love flourished within ink-stained pages, Illuminate the world for countless ages, Their story became a testament to old, A love at first sight, a tale to be retold. So, let us revel in the poet's art, As love's longing springs in every heart, For in these verses, we find solace and might, The beauty of long poetry, love's eternal light. She then puts her poetry letter away, gets on her bed, and turns off the light, excited about spending more time with her new friend that she never had before. She then closes her eyes and falls asleep. > Chapter Two: Having Fun > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, Sunflower walks out of her house with of course her poetry letter and an ink pen. "I can't wait to see him." She mumbles to herself. She then notices Sunrise and runs to him. "Hey, Sunrise!" Sunrise turns around and stares at Sunflower. "Hey, Sunflower." A couple of hours later, they're at a picnic, Sunflower writes: Let's pack a basket and head outside, To a spot where nature hides. With the blue skies and sunshine bright, Picnic times are pure delight. Spread the blanket beneath a tree, In nature's embrace, we will be. Open the hamper, feast our eyes, On sandwiches and tasty pies. Sip lemonade, cool and sweet, As the breeze gives our skin a treat. Chirping birds provide the song, As we munch and sing along. The grass is soft beneath our hoof, A perfect spot for us to meet. The world can wait, let's just unwind, At this moment, troubles are left behind. Laugh and share stories, side by side, As the hours gracefully slide. With friends and family, we're complete, At this picnic, life feels so sweet. The sky turns hues of orange and red, As the sun lowers its sleepy head. We pack our things, with grateful hearts, For this day, where joy imparts. The memories made, forever keep, In a place where happiness sleeps. Picnic, oh picnic, we'll always remember, The love and laughter we shared. Sunflower puts her letter away and stares at Sunrise. "So, Sunrise what's your favorite color?" Sunflower asks. "Brown and black." Sunrise answers. "Really? Mine is purple and blue." Sunflower also answers. A while later, they are playing tag in the park. "Tag you're it!" Sunflower says. "Dang it!" Sunrise says. Sunflower giggles. "You're really good, for being a runner." Sunrise chuckles a bit. After the whole day of Sunflower and Sunrise playing with each other, they went back into their own houses again. Sunrise walks inside his house and sighs. "I don't know what's wrong with me, but she's starting to annoy me even though we've just been friends for a day." He talks to himself. He then gets on his bed and turns off his lights and sleeps. Sunflower, however, is still awake writing her poetry. In a world so vast and wide, Where joy and laughter coincide, There lies a treasure, yet undiscovered, A source of fun, beloved, and uncovered. Wherever we go, whatever we do, There's always time for fun, it's true, From dusk till dawn, we embrace the delight, Like stars that twinkle in the sky at night. We chase the sun on sandy shores, Building castles, forever ours, Seagulls swoop, waves crash and roar, Giggles echo from the sandy floor. We dance under a moonlit sky, When the night is young, bold, and spry, Looming shadows become our stage, As we let our carefree spirits engage. Skipping merrily through fields of green, With flower crowns, the fairies convene, Whimsical tales we dare to unravel, As we let our imaginations fiercely travel. On swings that soar to touch the sky, We reach for dreams, oh so high, Weightless and free, we set our spirits loose, Leaving behind worries, an eternal truce. In parks and playgrounds, laughter unfolds, Slides and swings, for the young and old, Through timeless games, friendships are made, Bonds of joy that will never fade. In every moment, big or small, We find the joy that unites us all, With smiles and laughter, we paint our days, As we discover, fun in myriad ways. So let us cherish this gift we possess, The ability to embrace happiness, For in every moment, the fun yet untold, Awaits to be unlocked, a treasure to behold. After she was done, she got on her bed, turned off the lights, and falls asleep.
