A rhyme for everypony.

I wanted to practice my poetry, so I'm going to try to write a poem for as many characters as possible.

The Incomplete tag will likely be here forever, as this is going to be somewhat of a 'publish whenever I write a thing' thing.

Twilight Sparkle

I've got to go over and pick up a book,
I think I have time for one last little look,
Nightmare is coming, that infamous crook,
And if I can help it I won't be some mook.

I do not know why she sent me,
Far from my desk and to this tree,
The Princess, surely she can see,
This town is full up with crazy!

The bouncy baker, met with gasp,
The farmer, took my hoof in clasp,
The pegasus with voice of rasp,
I fled the fashionista's grasp,
And squeak,
And squeak,
But do not speak.

The moon went pale, the Mare was not,
I found myself held to the spot,
Transfixed by one we'd all forgot-
I've got to go, faster than trot.

They will not leave, they will not go,
Even when I told them so,
The danger here will only grow,
But here they come so start the show.

The forest here is deep and dim,
The chances of success are slim,
But even though the path is grim...
OH CRIPES THE GROUND, over the brim!

A clasping hoof, a soothing word,
And though I'm sure I had not heard...
Let go, you said? Why that's absurd!
But something in me has been stirred...

A fearsome beast lies in our path,
His claws and teeth there bared in wrath,
But 'fore the bloody aftermath,
A kind hoof here, and... kitty bath?

We move along, up swells our fear,
And faces in the trees appear!
Why in the world did we come here,
But from the baker, waves of cheer?

What in the world, she starts to sing?
But then there's a perculiar thing,
I feel quite light, as if on wing,
What an odd feat to set in swing.

Our progress once again is spoiled,
Up ahead the water boiled,
A thrashing serpent coiled and coiled,
A gift bestowed, his anguish foiled.

A bridge across a canyon - broke,
To false idols our hope she spoke,
And though tempted by ego's stroke,
Betrayal they did not provoke.

At last,
So fast?
The past
Forecast...

A spark to wake up that which slept,
In rocks within the castle kept,
A site where many ponies wept,
Now all forlorn and weather-swept.

She's here! The Night! A Fearsome fright!
But no, I must restore the light,
But I alone? No, that's not right...
My friends beside me, what a sight!

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie,
Rarity and Fluttershy,
Applejack, and then me, hi,
Time to wave Nightmare goodbye.

Now all fares well and all is fine,
And these ponies? Friends of mine.
And there the summer sun does shine,
And there a heartfelt, gen-u-ine,

Apology, between a pair,
Of alicorns who lay right there,
Excuse me if I stop to stare,
Sisters? Now they clear the air.

And now this little tale, it ends,
But now I have my five new friends,
And though our bonds will test and bend,
With no one else my time I'd spend.

Let's kick things off with the show's kick-off. :twilightsmile:

Pinkie Pie

A pony grew up on a farm,
Which was quite sadly lacking in charm,
Then one day a bang!
And the pony she sang,
Which gave all of her fam'ly alarm!

Now Ponyville was an old town,
And the pony, she put her roots down,
She made tons of new friends,
And worked on the weekends,
So that nopony could ever frown.

Then along came a unicorn nerd,
Who told us 'bout a few things she'd heard,
We restored the Nightmare,
With a rainbow we shared,
And we welcomed her back to the herd.

There was a pink party pony,
Who was happy as happy could be,
She could pronk for a mile,
With a really big smile,
And that pink party pony was me!

Pinkie and limericks. :pinkiehappy:

Applejack

Up in the early, early mornin',
Just when the sun is dawnin', dawnin',

That is the time, the time to wake,
Just as the sunbeams break, break,

Gotta whole day, a day ahead now,
Gotta go out, go out and somehow,

Get it all done, all done before nightfall,
Plowin' and sowin' and fixin' that wall, wall,

Fittin' in a li'l, li'l time with friends,
All of it done and done before the day ends.

Kickin' at the trees, trees,
Bracin' on my knees, knees,

Apples rainin', rainin' from above there,
Into the, into the, baskets on the ground, yeah,

The apples are shiny, shiny and ripe,
Ugh, gotta switch it up, up to fix that pipe,

The pigs have gotta eat, eat,
And the sheep're gonna bleat, bleat,

And what I've gotta do, do now,
Negotiate with cows, cows,

How ya doin', brother, brother,
Checkin' books, books what a bother,

Are we in the, in the black yet?
Yeah, well good, gotta pay off that debt, debt,

Aw, look at that, the time, the time,
I gotta run, run because I'm,

Gonna be late fer, fer the meetin',
With my friends, my friends are greetin',

Some sort of, sort of royalty,
From far-off, far-off, don't ask me,

An' all of this, this before noon,
I'm gonna, gonna break down soon,

But I refuse, refuse to give,
Fer all of this is why I live, live,

Yeah, I prob'ly need a rest, rest,
'Cause I've learned it's prob'ly best, best,

Not to push, and push too far,
Or my reputation marrs, marrs,

Anyway, no time to talk, talk,
Gotta go, go faster than a walk.

Author's Note

Not about any episode in particular. AJ is a very busy pony, so I wanted her poem to be sort of bouncy, like you gotta say it fast, fast. Gotta say that writing these is a blast, blast.

Daybreaker

Why not cut loose,
And come have some fun?
Who cares if you burn,
When you're close to the sun!

The sky's filled with fire,
And the world is alight.
Say your goodbyes,
To the cool dark of night.

So when everything's ash,
Oh yes honey, you too,
I will walk on the embers,
Of the 'good' and the 'true'.

Fear not and fret not,
Your death will be swift,
A torrent of fire,
And your soul - it will lift.

It will dance in the air,
Like one last little spark.
'Gainst the ultimate moon,
'Gainst the last of the dark.

So the day it shall dawn,
And be day ever-after,
And only my voice left,
Listen to my laughter.

Author's Note

Bet you didn't think she would be the next character on the list, huh?

Rainbow Dash

Up in the air and looking down and it's so far below,
The ground right there,
I do not care,
My wingbeats hardly slow,

As I climb up and out above there in the great blue sky,
I feel the ice,
I feel it slice,
And still I fly and fly,

The air around grows light and thin and thinner ever still,
The stars to touch,
Not quite too much,
Against the empty chill,

And tuck,
And turn,
Sky plucks,
Sky churns,
And dive,
And down,
Alive,
The town,
Below,
Comes up,
Just go,
Don't stop,
The sky,
To break,
I fly,
Awake,
Right there,
The edge,
The flare,
To fledge,
The spark,
The grip,
Stands stark,
Don't slip,
The catch,
The push,
Dispatch,
The whoosh,
The burst,
The bloom,
Headfirst,

Rainboom.

Author's Note

Gosh, what must it be like to be able to fly? And to fly as fast as Rainbow Dash, so fast that physics itself cracks?

Awesome.
