A Field Experiment on Grief
I) Motivation: Rainbow Dash,
A pegasus mare, bold and brash,
Has left this world; her life was brief.

Now I am left with this strange mood
I've never had; so here shall I
Observe and note my feelings; try
And figure out what had ensued.

II) Methods: For the past few days
I've noted down my troubled thoughts,
The feelings Dash's death had wrought
Into a strange miasmic haze.

Then, synthesizing all these things,
I'd analyze and then conclude
Exactly what from me elude;
Besides a pair of downy wings.

III) Observations: I can't seem
To put down into words the way
I feel today, or yesterday,
Nor days to come, I dare to deem.

I levitate the quill, and dip
The apparatus into ink
But all I write, and all I think,
Are poems, and the arrow-tip.

So, therefore, I shall deem this ill-
Thought study inconclusive; I,
Shall on this matter ne'ermore try
To study; I have not the skill.
