//------------------------------// // Can We Start Again, Trixie? // Story: The Spike Poem Anthology II // by Zephyr Spark //------------------------------// She’s a pony we once considered a jerk, Her magic shines through the night like fireworks She saved us from the changeling jail Her tricks never grow stale She befriended my dear friend Starlight That alone makes her a friend alright. I can’t say that I’ve always liked you But time and time again, you come through When others would have turned and ran. I guess I’m a bit of your fan. I’m sorry that we made it hard for you to get a crowd To watch your show. I’m sorry we made anger cloud Your vision. I’m sorry you learned to hate us in your heart. I know we don’t deserve it, but if you’d like, we could have a fresh start. We could forget the wrongs we did to each other and our every offend. We should start again. Hello, I’m Spike. Would you like to be friends?
