Hey all, just thought I'd share a bit of pony poetry. This one is called "Trixie's Prelude" and was inspired by the song,
"A Waltz for Trixie" by Makkon.

For the best experience, listen to Makkon's Waltz while imagining it read by Christopher Lee XD

Once long ago, under the leaves of the trees
There was born a small foal, here name? It was Trixie
But the tale of her birth is not one of great interest
Rather it's what happened much later that one might like best
For this filly had dreams, and what dreams she could see
Where all the world knew the Great and Powerful Trixie.
As a unicorn pony, she could conjure up magic
She learned to wow others with her spectacular tricks
As she improved her skills she grew ever more bold
Until at last she knew she must let the world behold
Behold one of magic and mystery and might
Behold Trixie! So she set out to do that one night
From town to town, some big and some small
She did her best to show her talents to all
And some she did enchant with her dazzling ways
But still there were many her spells could not sway
And as she kept up her performance her patience grew thin
Until finally our filly almost gave in
Now at this point dear reader, I just want to ask
What motivates YOU to stick to your task?
What keeps you going when there's no end in sight?
What pushes you forward all through the night?
Well the answer for Trixie would always be there
Not to be known, that she could not, WOULD not bear
So finally one night she came up with a scheme
One that would make her a legend it seemed.
If her spells won't enchant her equestrian kind
Her tales she would use to capture their minds
And so she paced and she thought and she pictured it all
Until she had woven a story she could use to enthrall
So this story she practiced over and again
To make sure it was perfect beginning to end
And finally she made it through endless rehearsal
Our filly was confident her story would sell
Ponyville was next, oh, how amazed they would be
To behold one so grand as The Great And Powerful Trixie.
