Author's Note

I recently held a celebration contest for having 1,000,000 words of stories on Tumblr.
Princess Hailee won second place, a narrative poem.
The Castle Hailee art was something that I already did some time ago as a gift to her.

Princess Hailee's Solstice

Princess Hailee on her balcony watched the snow
And listened to the winds blow.
It was the Solstice, shortest day of the year.
The Winter Princess had naught to fear
Of the Longest Eve, Mid-Winter’s Night,
For her Winter was happening just right!
The snow and chill
Were for her not an ill.
There were pegassi awaiting her inside
That from her favored weather preferred to hide.
“Happy Hearthwarming!” they greeted her
As by the fire, they warmed their fur!
Melting ice dripped from feathered wing
As those Weather Ponies wished for Spring!
Hailee’s castle was welcome respite
On the long Hearthwarming Night!
She smiled, “Hearthwarming to you but Solstice is right!
Both happen on the same day
In Winter’s midst! That’s when I play!
Stay you in where it is warm!
I, the Winter’s Princess, will see to this Storm!”
