writing Trixie's Prelude (poetry)

[ScarletIce 4]

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.
