Monarch Dodora's "Sombra's Sonnet" (AugieDog's "Villain-elles")

Author's Note:

[Drama] [Comedy]

This chapter is written by Monarch Dodora. It is a continuation of AugieDog's "Villain-elles" (556 words, [Slice of Life]).

VILLAIN-ELLES SPOILERS: A number of MLP villains write sonnets starting with memories of their homes, what drove them to act as they did, and how that turned out for them.

VI: Sombra

It haunted me, the home I'd left behind,
Its crystal spires and sidewalks all aglow.
You fear the dark? Pathetic! Keep in mind:
The lights you bear just make the shadows grow!

Mere weaklings, all! And thus I sought to take
This feeble candle sitting in the storm
And turn its warm translucency opaque:
In ice, solidified; in dark, reborn.

But love, it seems, has strength I couldn't see;
A fire shared by all in its embrace.
In fact it's comparable to TNT
I found out as it hit me in the face.

My horn thus bears a fate I would forfend:
Embedded in a windigo's rear end.

Good poetry, done well, is a wonder to see
Bad poetry, done badly, is much the same to me
But good poetry, done with a joke or three
Is far better, even when it doesn't rhyme.

Arrogance and ignorance make for a dangerous combination, especially for the arrogant, ignorant one. Explosions generally ensue.

7575779 Arrogance and ignorance? You could almost make a song from that Let me think for a moment, yes...
(To the tune of "Ebony and Ivory.")

Arrogance and ignorance,
live together in every circumstance,
On the net or on TV, we see, outright idiocy!
