I'd like to put the spotlight on Patchwork Poltergeist's "A Diamond and a Tether." It's a moving story, deftly written and adroitly told, but be advised it's sad. Oh, no one dies; there's no illness or injury or abuse, and in fact everyone ends up safely home. But it's still very sad, and that's doing sad the hard way. Respect.

It seems "Beneath your feet, what treasures" made the latest installment of the Canterlot Royal Library.

Thank you all for your interest and support!

...I predict that around Season 7 or 8 we'll see the return of Tree Hugger in an episode entitled "May I Be Blunt With You?"

That is all.

"The Garfilter"....

I wanted to mention "Those Who Live Forever" by Moose Mage. It's a perceptive and melancholy take on the show's premise--and its target demographic.

If I take off my glasses, square my jaw, suck in my cheeks and assume a grave and serious aspect before the mirror...I look a lot like Frylock.

I was going to post a picture of Frylock but I found this instead:

...and it's called Horse-Trading.

It's just a place to park the little drabbles that I come up with from time to time. Enjoy!

I can write no stately proem
As prelude to my lay:
A poet to a poem
I would dare to say.

Yet if, of these fallen petals,
One to you seems fair,
Love will waft it 'til it settles
On your hair.

And when time and winter harden
All this loveless land,
It will whisper of the garden:
You will understand.
