The most depressing yet beautiful thing ever.

It can't be easy being Pinkie Pie.

Being me is no treat, and I can tell you why...
Singing and laughing is a treat, but even I must cry...
When life decides to darken your day, and you can't even go outside to play, is it really the best to stay inside, where you'll be dry? Because the pain still won't go away...

So smile even if your face can't hold her, and cry yourself asleep on your best friend's shoulder...
Because the lives we touch aren't going to fade away, even though they're gone, in our hearts they'll stay, so go outside it's a brand new day to play...
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, but hold your loved ones in your heart...
And in the end, like a Phoenix gone grey, you'll find a new place... to start...

1126430>>1126421 Thanks. I sometimes just... need to write poetry. This ended up being one of those times. ;~;

Again I say wow. You're good at poetry, very good.

1126442 Thank you, though I'm not that great. You'll notice that the iambic pentameter that I started with peters out and gets elongated to fit in the rest of the poem. I completely lost the flow; only reason it can be called a poem now is that the words tend to rhyme.

1126664 the fact that I didn't understand a word you just said proves you know your stuff. At least more than what I know... which is how to rhyme.

Iambic Pentameter is an easy one to remember, if only because of what it is.

In Zecora's speech, the words will flow. This rhyme I'll teach, and out you go.

Iambic Pentameter is the pattern. It's basically like a metronome but for vocals and poems, instead of instruments. It's usually placed on the syllables. Take this for example:

Baa Baa Black Sheep, Have You A Ny Wool?
Yes Sir, Yes Sir, Three Bags Full.

Each word except for "Any (Eh Nee)" is only one syllable, so the poem flows nicely. The iambic pentameter for this follows a da da da daa da da da-da daa/da da da da daa da daaa pattern, with some variations in later stanzas. It's a very simple one. Mine jumps and jitters and would require some words to be drawn out and others to be spoken in rapid succession to fit into an iambic pentameter of any real rhythm. (Not to mention that I'm practically tone deaf and can't sing for shit...)

Fire Heart... That was something... only a few things have moved me in such a way that I actually shed a tear. This hit me hard and gave me some of the little humanity I feel I still have that isn't dulled by the bitterness i see around me. This reminded me why I do what I do in life. I want to make a real difference in the world. Writing and doing nice thing every chance I get is my way to leave my mark and spread goof nature to others. This touched me in a way I haven't felt in a long time and for that I thank you my friend. This has given me a look into powerful work, and if I can move someone if only a fraction of what this did to me, I will have realized my dream of being a writer.
