    Further Progress

    While it looks like the next Somber Dreams chapter will be coming out before the Diamond Dogs chapter, I did figure out where my problem was in writing the latter, so *that* much is good. Of course, it also means I need to start the story over entirely, but, eh.

    Hope you all are doing well out there. Lots of love.

    Clarity

    Someone whose writing I admire has been dealing with the hopelessness of it all. How the meaningless is elevated, how rage is cherished, how expressions of contentment or joy or love are to be mocked and discarded. How those who want to offer substance lose out to those who offer only immediate gratification, whether it be confident (but wrong) answers or two minutes of hate. I offered her a

    Updates & Changing Gears

    I have been working on a chapter of Fine Steps featuring Diamond Dogs but, after trying to fit it together for months, I think it needs to be two separate chapters. While I re-engineer that, I've also been working on a follow-up chapter that features Somber Dreams (earlier

88 Lines about 44 Ponies
With apologies to The Nails. Really, guys. I’m sorry. =)

Sweetie was a gentle foal
Who wanted a mark on her end
Scootaloo was rough and tumble
On the same quest with her friends
AppleBloom was AJ’s sis
But had a bow ‘stead of a hat
Rarity raised Sweetie Belle
And owned a psychopathic cat

Twilight was a friendless gal
Who got sent down to Ponyville
Fluttershy, a pegasus
She freaked out when a bird was ill
Pinkie had a special way
Of turning life into a song
Applejack, who couldn’t lie
Was as gentle as she was strong

Zecora was a zebra-type
The ponies were scared of her wrath
Aloe owned a spa in town
And had the ‘poison-joke cure’ bath
Lotus worked there with her sis
Her hoofrubs done with loving care
Miss Mayor called upon her skill
And left a very happy mare

Mrs. Cake was happy to
Help with parties, big and small
Mr. Cake stuck with his wife
He didn’t mind the work at all
Trixie was a unicorn
Who was both Powerful and Great
Derpy Hooves, who had a foal
She had to go, the post was late

Luna was a lonely gal
Who spent existence cloaked by night
Celestia her older sis
Reveled in the sun’s pure light
Soarin’, colt, who loved to eat
Was never ever satisfied
Dash? She came and went so fast
She didn’t even say goodbye

Spitfire had Rainbow’s dream job
A Wonderbolt down to her core
Dinky was a little foal
Who couldn’t love her mommy more
Snips had a tendency to rush
Into ideas that brought him down
Snails was slow, but a good friend
Who always helped reverse his frown

Big Macintosh thought life was simple
A farmhorse with nothing to prove
Granny Smith, with her bad hip
Preferred a rocker to her hooves
Braeburn was a country gent
Apple-loosa he did proud
Bluegrass was another one
Defended it with pie and plow

Lyra was a grand performer
Gifted with an artist’s touch
Bon-Bon was the one who loved her
And every brony knows how much
Colgate, temptress, liked to tease
Young fillies with an eager brush
Berry Punch’s claim to fame
Was as Ponyville’s premier lush

Promontory, mighty stallion
Pulled the western-bound express
Steamer ran directly after
Never showing sign of stress
Evening Star, third engineer
Was blind to the meaning of fear
Coltrane, stoic, ever running
Always bringing up the rear

Silver Spoon, a spoiled brat
Thought her cutie mark was great
Diamond Tiara, her best friend
Mocked others when their marks were late
Twist found she liked peppermint
And bee-girl dresses, see the pic?
Cherilee would not approve
Of all the ‘hot for teacher’ fic.

Carrot Top, so generous
For others keeps her icebox full
Photo Finish works da magiks
For her fans she breaks the rules
Sapphire Shores, pony of pop
Her vocalizing glorious
Vinyl Scratch, DJ PON-3
Please PMV this song for us

I think the line about Cherrilee is the best one.

Maybe I'm just ignorant about poesie, but did you really rhyme satisfied with goodbye? Welp, not like I could do it better. :P

Awesome little thing.

This is excellent, and you are excellent. In fact, you are twice as excellent for having used "lush" as a noun.

The original song takes similar / identical liberties with the rhyme scheme.
That's actually the original format of the song, found just below:
