Where's my head at? x (

 

I wrote a Rainbow-inspired piece recently and forgot to post it into the RDFC:

 

 

Her Sky (previously submitted to dA and FIMfiction)
by Siegfried Danzinger

The wind, delighted, played with her mane; tossing it shamelessly and making its many hues ripple and dance together.

The sun, amused, warmed her coat; her feathers embraced its heat as two strong wings carried her higher.

The clouds parted for her; made way for the ascending blue pegasus and a vibrant, unmistakable streak of color.

At this moment, she was a rocket.  An unstoppable burst of dazzling energy.  Were it not for her rainbow mane, she could have united with the sky itself; an immeasurable sea of white-accented azure.

It was hers.  Belonged to her.

This wasn't a race; there was no starting line.  This wasn't a journey; there was nowhere she had to go.  This wasn't an exhibition; she was flying for herself.

The bright blue rocket pierced a particularly thick cloud with a satisfying puff; bits of the white mass scattered throughout the air.  The pegasus collected them and dutifully patched the hole, taking a moment to appreciate her work.  Finally, she smoothed a hoof over the repaired injury; giving it a pat that seemed like a reassuring, "There, all better."

She looked around.  Took in everything that could be taken in.  The earth was a far away place, now; a different world altogether.

And she was home.

The former rocket became a bird of prey; effortlessly skimming along the pale sea of cloud and hunting her shadow.  She dipped a hoof into the strange waters and made a furrow.  Her eyes half-closed and a smile shone on her face.

And she dove.

Down into the quiet, floating sea.  Deeper.  Deeper.  And deeper, still; abandonding the world of blue for a harmless and familiar white fog.

She escaped from the pale and thrust into the azure once more.  A whole world of color.  Of life.  A world without limits and nothing to slow her down.  It was exhilarating.  Her wings were drawn behind her as she imitated a beautiful meteorite.

Ten.

The pegasus felt it; something building inside of her.

Nine.

It could be called any number of things, but the name of it didn't matter.

Eight.

Nothing would stop her but her.  Nothing could hold her but doubt; and she felt nothing of the sort.

Seven.

That other world was fast-approaching.  A less confident flyer might balk.

Six.

Change their mind.  Give in to fear and uncertainty.  Question their own ability.

Five.

There was a time when she wasn't sure she could do it.  When something dared to hold her back.

Four.

But things were different now.  She owned this moment; these last few moments.

Three.

Those last few moments before she would fill the sky with radiant color.

Two.

And defy the gravity of all the world below.

One.

An explosion.  A ring of myriad hues, bursting outward and carrying her timely triumph through the air.

The once-plummeting meteorite shot back up into the sky at an extreme angle; never so much as brushing the earth below.  She ventured a satisfied backward glance.  There was never any question.  Never any doubt.

At this speed, all else appeared to slow down.  A grateful, delighted heart beat in her chest; a little drum that marked both her ascent and her growing enthusiasm.

There were other flyers; skilled ones, even.  Others who loved the sky much as she did.

But today, if only for a time, this was her sky.  Her world.  Her blue, blue, cloud-littered ocean.  Her tail a brush that painted the path behind her; telling any who might spy it that she had been there only moments before.

And this wouldn't be the last time.  There would never be a last time; not truly.  The wind, the sun, the clouds.  She would borrow them all for a while.

A rainbow grinned across the sky.  A pegasus bathed in its sunlit waters as ships of white sailed through.

More compact poem version born out of a need to reach the minimum word count on FIMfiction:

 

 

Her Sky: A Poem
by Siegfried Danzinger

The wind, delighted, played with her mane;
Together, its many hues ripple and dance

The sun, amused, warmed her coat;
Her feathers embraced its heat

The clouds made way for the ascending blue pegasus
With her came a vibrant, unmistakable streak of color

She was an unstoppable burst of energy
She could have united with the sky itself

It was hers
Belonged to her

There was no starting line
Nowhere she had to go

This wasn't an exhibition;
She was flying for herself

She took in everything that could be taken in
The earth was a far away place

And she was home

She skimmed along the pale sea of cloud
Dipped a hoof into the strange waters

And she dove

Down into the quiet, floating sea
Abandoning the world of blue for one of white

She escaped from the pale;
Thrust into the azure once more  

A whole world of color and of life
One without limits and nothing to slow her down

Nothing would stop her but her
Nothing could hold her but doubt

There was a time when she wasn't sure
When something dared to hold her back

But now she owned this moment
Those last few moments before she would fill the sky

Fill it with radiant color
And defy the gravity of all the world below

A ring of myriad hues burst outward
Carried her triumph through the air

She shot back up into the sky;
Never so much as brushing the earth below

All else appeared to slow down
A grateful, delighted heart beat in her chest

Today, if only for a time, this was her sky
Her blue, blue, cloud-littered ocean

The wind, the sun, the clouds
She would borrow them all for a while

A rainbow grinned across the sky
She bathed in its sunlit waters as ships of white sailed through

If the air loved her, it could not be blamed
If the sky missed her after, it was no wonder

If the air loved her, it could not be blamed
If the sky missed her after, it was no wonder

If the clouds envied her, it surprised no one
It eyes feel upon her, it was to be expected

A shining, reassuring beam of colored light
On a vast and unequaled canvas

I finally did it! :D (Procrastination is the main reason I have't been able to do it for so long.)

 

Look at the nickname and the original trainer before you say this isn't Rainbow Dash related. 

 

If you can't make it out, the original trainer is Rainbow Dash, and the Pokemon nickname is Tank.

Also, his nature is relaxed, and his characteristic is highly persistent. I definitely caught Tank. (the nature was intentional, the characteristic wasn't.)

I think you meant hatched because you can't catch a Turtwig at Level 1. Still, quite a fitting name for Rainbow's pet tortoise.

Rainbow Dash was making the same face I was making when I saw an ad that was irrelevant to me.... again... for the billionth time! (It was on Facebook) I chose the second option because I was more so reporting it because I keep seeing it. (If you want to know)

 

I'm using Ponyhoof by the way, if anyone is curious.

 

Yes, I was angry.
