...I'm releasing a Shimsham story a little earlier than planned! No, not the one that's supposed to come out on the 12th. That one will still be releasing with the schedule I gave it. This one is some more horse poetry. I've tagged Autophobia because this one goes along with the other -phobia stories in being in the same spiritual set of horse poetry in long form.

There's a bit of a buffer for it too, so it's not going to be lagging in updates much.

A quickie featuring everyone's favorite country pony. s/o Aquatic Vibes for the art - and ScandiBeats for the rhythm. Both provided a creative spark that led to this poem taking shape.

I hardly knew you,
Then you really grew on me,
Freckles fair and emeralds twinkly,
Say you need me, dear pretty Jackie.

Your eyes of shining emerald,
Make my heart assembled,

screaming into the void
mindless thoughts from pandora

What will someone see if they look into my eyes?

Hope? Blues and greens intertwined, a brightness and attention that feeds light inwards and out? The conscious watchfulness of a listener hand in hand with the hermeneutic disassembly of my ego? Id?

I see tall trees of green,
Bright berries too,
I shall pick a few,
For me and you,
And I think to myself,
Such a beautiful world…

I look up and see,
Amongst clouds of white
Pegasi flying free,
The earth ponies wave goodnight,
And I think to myself,
Such a beautiful world…

The shapes of the cones
With ice cream sweet as pie,
Are also on the heads,
Of unicorns trotting by,
I see them shaking hooves,
Saying, "How do you do?"
They are really saying,
"I love you"

One more way and I'll find my home,
Where the water's cold, I know you'll be there,
See me in the shimmer of the glow,
I'm waiting to fade away,
In this house, I'm not home,
When it rains, I know I won't be heard,
Pay no mind to the screams of agony through the trees,
I won't dare breathe and you'll find a smile,
I know I'm done and gone,
I see it in your eyes, the flame of apathy,
In retrospect, I feel obliged to offer the comfort of soundless objection,

Wake up relatively happy

Attempt to snuggle significant other

Realize you're single

Snuggle pillow instead.

Cry for about ten minutes

Suddenly stop crying

Remember that ponies exist

Make some nachos

Spend entire day watching ponies

Snuggle with plushie of your favorite pony

It's not really pony-related so I put it in a blog, but still I appreciate you taking the time to check it out :3

Screw tradition

We’re on a mission

To plug the gaps

That plague the system

So no one falls through

So dreams come true

So you can trust

What the leaders tell you

No more lies

No more weasel words

Write laws in English

Not 12,000 words

Build a system

That we understand

That we can fight for

That we can comprehend

Now for something rather dark and solemn. This depicts a scenario after Sunny Starscout gets in a violent physical altercation with ponies who betrayed her, is knocked unconscious, and thrown into the sea. Based off of AssasinMonkey's art, and inspired by Xhydralisk's comment on it. Paraphrased a few lines from his poem for the last three lines of this one. Might expand on it later.

Water floods my mouth, consciousness not found,

One day, Trixie decided to make a rap to promote her next show. Then this happened:

(To this beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbNJyhZJjDU )

Trixie, gonna rock this stage, gonna take this art form to the next page
Gonna smash the competition like she’s smashing this beat
Doesn’t know the meaning of the word “defeat”

Yeah Trixie, gonna rock this stage, gonna take this art form to the next page
Gonna smash the competition like she’s smashing this beat

As none of you knew before this point in time, I write poetry as well as stories about horses. I was going back through some of my old stuff and thought I might post this one.

The Birds, the Bees, and I

We are rude and polite and homicidal and self-sacrificing
The angel stops to embrace the demon
The rising ape touches the falling deity
And they nod to one another in comprehension
Of things that they cannot understand
Without the other

But

With a cluster of coddling and egotistic incompetence,
Are the acts of a cult leader any coincidence?
I tried so hard to be a blind hero,
Now there's destruction, and I'm back to zero.

Emerging from the dust of chaos's aftermath,
Dismissed and exiled, now where is the right path?
Three tribes hug together as warmly besties,
As I'm drowning in the waters of my own insecurities.

The rising feels are up to my neck,
As my lips expel a final vent and beck.
Hoping they hear my call,

We are sorry to report
Today at this AM hour
Such unfortunate news.
But it's our job, so thusly we announce
Earlier this morning,
An Equestrian died on Earth.

Her name was Whistle Whisp
And she was quite the trailblazer,
But also quite the alcoholic.
Some time last night she drank
And then she tried to fly,
Forgetting that in our world,
There's no magic in the air.

Splat.
