Haiku of the Alicorn

Haiku of the Lonely Alicorn


Why did you make me
face eternity, princess?
I would have said no.
~Twilight

I love thee like night
My dearest Twilight Sparkle
Please look upon me.
~Luna

I don't understand
All of my friends are dead now.
These wings are a curse.
~Twilight

You may be sad, yes
But not forevermore, no
I shall be thy friend
~Luna

Oh Princess Luna
How can you stand seeing them
When you know they die?
~Twilight

Oh Twilight Sparkle
Ponies all shine so brightly
With their time given
~Luna

I miss them all so!
Rainbow and all the others!
They grew old and died!
~Twilight

Thou art ageless, yes
Heavy is the head with-crown
We are merely four.
~Luna

Please stay here with me
I don’t want to be alone!
I’m so lonely now!
~Twilight

Come Twilight, come now
Away from this dark graveyard
Thy bed shall be warm.
~Luna

Twilight, welcome home.
I hope you can find good rest
Your room is waiting.
~Celestia

Come your majesty!
Your room has been readied, ma’am!
I’ll lead you to it.
~Random Guard

That won’t be needed
I will take dear Twilight there.
Her room is near mine.
~Luna

Yes Princess Luna,
Princess Twilight, I am here.
Should you need a guard.
~Random Guard

Wow, these hallowed halls…
They’re so big and now they’re home.
Am I really here?
~Twilight

This is thy home now.
My sister and I are here,
For comfort and love.
~Luna

Oh thank you Luna.
It’s one less thing on my mind
Knowing I’m welcome.
~Twilight

Come, yon door is thine.
We thought you would enjoy mauve.
It matches your coat.
~Luna

Oh, it’s beautiful!
Golden Oaks was not so grand,
Is all this all mine?
~Twilight

The curtains are yours,
Yonder bed is meant for thee.
And a private bath!
~Luna

Haha, that’s so nice!
I had always shared with Spike!
But no more, he’s grown…
~Twilight

Worry not, Twilight
He’s a big dragon now, yes?
Purple, just like you!
~Luna

He thought he was mine…
Small, purple and magical
He was like a son.
~Twilight

Linger not on him.
Thy weariness will subside.
Rest now, in your bed.
~Luna

Luna, will you stay?
I meant what I said before.
Not to be alone…
~Twilight

Such tears, my Twilight!
Very well, I shall stay here.
Shhh, shhh, rest thy brow…
~Luna

Oh, I’m so sorry!
Look at me blubbering here!
I’m a great big mess!
~Twilight

Twilight, we all mourn.
Rest beneath my wing and hush,
The night will soothe you.
~Luna

Is… is it selfish?
Being warm and alive here?
While others just die?
~Twilight

Never feel guilty!
Long life should be cherished, friend.
We live forever.
~Luna

Luna, I’m so scared.
Eternity is so long!
It all seems so cold…
~Twilight

Friends are like flowers,
Dear one beneath my dark wings.
They blossom, then die.
~Luna

And we should enjoy?
They will all be so brief, though!
How can I love them?
~Twilight

Feel my warm feathers.
For I will always be here,
Tender for thy woes.
~Luna

You’re so warm, Princess
Will you promise to stay? Please?
I’m so lonely now.
~Twilight

Now and forever
I will warm thy bed and heart
Perhaps… as your love?
~Luna

Princess! You’re so fond?!
I had no idea, truly!
My face is so red!
~Twilight

Do not be alone
Embrace me Twilight Sparkle
I will keep thy heart.
~Luna

Oh Luna, you’re warm.
Will you really keep me safe?
Now and for always?
~Twilight

Yes, my beloved.
Why, ever since Nightmare Night
I have pined for thee!
~Luna

What? Really, that long?
Gosh, why didn’t you say it?
I would have loved you!
~Twilight

Tis mine turn to blush
I was angry and tender
The moon was so harsh
~Luna

Luna, just stay here.
Snuggling with you is nice.
It makes me feel safe.
~Twilight

Curl thy wings my love
They are still new and lovely.
Feathers are fragile.
~Luna

You’re so soft and warm
Oh Luna, I feel so good.
Knowing you are here.
~Twilight

Give me the covers
I will comfort thee this night
With kisses and warmth.
~Luna

Princess, hooves like fire!
Your fur is like liquid night.
Your heartbeat is strong!
~Twilight

My little pony,
Embrace me with kisses, now!
I desire thy heart!
~Luna

Take me, oh take me!
Your kisses are like fire!
The bed is too small!
~Twilight

Thy lips upon mine,
I shall return many times.
Your heart is mine.
~Luna

Oh my Princess, yes!
Now press me to the pillows.
I must have you now!
~Twilight

Do not blaze too bright.
There is nothing but time now.
Let passion simmer
~Luna

Forgive me, Luna
I was caught in the moment.
Your body is hot.
~Twilight

I desire thee much
But merely kisses for now.
Lovemaking for later.
~Luna

Please, nuzzle me then.
I feel safe in your embrace.
Your velvet nose, ohhh…
~Twilight

Hush now, quiet love.
We shall share this bed tonight.
I will cradle thee.
~Luna

It’s so soft and warm,
My eyes are barely open…
I’m so very tired…
~Twilight

Sleep love, in my night
Right here in my strong embrace
Mine love will shield thee.
~Luna

Your fur is so plush
It’s like the softest pillow
Ohhh… I’m drifting off…
~Twilight

Look into mine eyes
I wish to see thy beauty
Oh Twilight, my love.
~Luna

Such a tender thing,
Mother give me strength for her
To love a pony.
~Luna

She is my heart now,
Oh Faust, she is my heart now.
Faust, protect Twilight.
~Luna

My breast doth quiver
Her breath is warm and alive
The blanket hides her.
~Luna

Her bright, fledgling wings
Such a burden for such youth
A newborn goddess.
~Luna

Tia will love her.
I shall promise even more.
My eon-beating heart.
~Luna

Unto thee a boon
The great love of a goddess
For thy heart and bed.
~Luna

I shall always love
For I shall never leave thee.
Always at your side.
~Luna

Mine eyes grow heavy.
Oh my Twilight, I love thee.
Be here on the morn…
~Luna

This was a formatting experiment as much as it was a story. Hope your guys enjoyed! :)

Mad props, dude. This is pretty cool. I don't know how you wrote such a long one.

THIS must of took a while to make.:twilightoops:

I can barely write 3 lines of a haiku, and then you come out with this:raritycry::raritydespair::raritydespair:

It looks good, but the description isn't the format of a haiku :trollestia:

2086613 I agree. I didn't get first post:trollestia:

dem immortality feels...

Amazing how you used the haikus to create the story! Now that's art (In literature form). :twilightsmile:
I want to see more creativity just like this!

Aegis.

Like.

Whoa.

Edit: I've had a bad day. This nearly made me teary. Then they started to make out, and it was gone.

Props to you, Aegis. I don't think I could even manage a Haiku anymore.

Well...Uh...*Hides Japanese homework from years ago*

Very nice!:twilightsmile:

I'm not much of a Haiku guy, but the rule is 5, 7, 5 syllables right?

Never feel guilty!

Long life should be cherished, friend.

We will live forever.

That last sentence had six syllables.(Everything else was perfect.:twistnerd:)

One problem:

Hush now, quiet now, love.

That's six syllables if read as: "Hush now, qui-et now, love."
Taking out the last word would keep it as meaningful and keep the line's pentameter.

Same with the description.

Immortal Twilight mourns, sad

Seven syllables:
"Im-mort-al Twi-light mourns, sad."
Don't know how to fix.

that was freaking adorable, and funny at some parts. enjoyed the read

Quite possibly the only Twiluna I've enjoyed as of yet.

Would Twilight get her own guards, or share Luna/Celestia's?

Commence read.
Pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for this.

2086692 Whoops, must be my southern accent. "Quiet" has one syllable where I'm from. I'll fix it. XD

2086680
2086692
How did you notice that? What manner of sorcery is this!

2086740
Didn't see the next?
You have seven syllables
In the first line, sir.

2086680
Perhaps, in this case
A contraction is needed.
"We'll live forever".

Hah, well that's a fun exercise :rainbowlaugh:

2086748 Heh! I guess I could have counted some more. At least people participating in this can see it as practice since there are so many in one page.:yay:

*sees One shot by Aegis Shield and opens it*

2086767 1st line has six syllables now :raritydespair:

2086758 I was thinking the same thing. Guess I should have pointed it out though.:eeyup:

2086767
You still have six sounds.
Synonyms for "im-mor-tal"
I cannot think of.

Still quite well written
And still a much larger feat
Than I would attempt.

2086787>>2086795

FUCK IIIIIIIT! :flutterrage:

*changes it entirely*

:duck:

2086806
Apologies, sir.
I meant no disrespect, just...
Tried to help. Sorry.
:fluttershysad:

2086806 What about deathless instead of immortal?

Hm.
Marginally impressive. Then again, I don't really care for haikus. Or shipping. And I'm not really a fan of death-fics, either.
So, honestly, you didn't stand much of a chance. Still, I can see how this would probably have been rather difficult to achieve, and I am quite willing to admit talent when I see it

2086901
Why don't you read it?
Give it a chance before you
Judge by the genre.

2086740
How do you pronounce "quiet" as a single syllable? Where I'm from, it's pronounced "qui-et", with a very sharp divide between the two syllables, so I'm having a bit of trouble figuring it out.

Also, have you submitted this to EQD? I'd really like to see their response. The way I see it, they'd either fail it on sight or theme their website around it.

2086913
Perhaps he says it
Similar in sound to "quite"
It's just a theory.

2086913>>2086920 "Quahht"

.....


warshin' machine! :duck:

oh god... :facehoof:

2086911
That _was_ after I'd read it.
I've simply never been a fan of haikus (or poetry in general).
Romantic sub-plots are acceptable only so long as they are well developed, and don't detract from the main story (Thereby indicating that they cannot _be_ the main story) - otherwise, I'm just not interested.
And unless there is a foe to seek vengeance upon, I am not all too interested in hearing about the deaths of characters I like.
So, taking all these things into account - he really didn't stand all that much of a chance of winning me over. Perhaps if it had been put to music, and been able to be sung as some sort of chant...
Of course, I'd be more than impressed simply by the technical aptitude of a writer who pulled _that_ off whilst in this format.

THIS WAS WONDERFUL! It was bittersweet in all the right ways. This is gaining a fav and like from me.

And "~Random Guard"..... Pffft...... LOLZ!

*Jaw drops*

I...I barely got to Twilight's room when I...

How is a mere mortal to compete with this!?

I'm just gonna leave my like and be on my marry way... Don't want no spoiler till after S3... Hope you of all ponies could understand...

Wow, you are VARY good at writing Haiku's. I'm jelly. But my feeling's aside GREAT story!

What the hell! I heard some of the Haiku's in his voice.

My brain! over all good stuff heels and stuff.

very nice Faved and Liked

(Like most of your works :twilightsmile:)

So guys, I noticed when we were talking earlier we've been speaking in haiku. Isn't that funny? Um, Luna, Twilight? What are you doing?
*several seconds pass*
You locked the door when I came in, I can't leave. Hello? Wh-oh, oh dear. Uh, I think I should be going!
*minutes pass*
La la la la la! I don't hear anything! Blah blah blah!
– Celestia

... I thought I was going to read the first ever clop scene written in Haiku there for a moment. And I would have been completely okay with that.
