Chapters Dear haiku journal,
today I went to get food
for our dog Bubbles!
I met Fluttershy
at the market today
and she was helpful!
She had bought extra
dog food by accident and
was willing to share.
I really owe her,
but she insisted that she
did not need my help.
As always she is
so polite and asked me how
my dog was doing.
I told her Bubbles
was doing great and that this
food would make her day.
She seemed really happy
that I said that and after
that we parted ways.
Our dogs breed is a
Shih Tzu and we just love her
so, so, so, SO much.
Geez, that was my worst
haiku I have written yet,
dear haiku journal.
Bubbles is around
ten years old and is doing
well for dogs her age.
When Dinky was born,
I wanted her to have a
loyal friend with her.
Bubbles has done her
job beautifully and has
always loved us.
In fact... she's sitting
in my lap as I write in
your pages right now!
I am using her
back as a sort of table
but she doesn't care.
Oops, just realized
that I forgot to fill her
dish now that I am back.
Good thing I have you,
or I would have forgotten
to feed her kibble.
It is getting late,
soon I will need to pick up
dinky from her school.
I bid you farewell,
dear helpful haiku journal!
see you tomorrow!
Hello again friend!
Remember how I had said
see you tomorrow?
Guess what? I just lied!
Well... I forgot actually
but Dinky told me.
Apparently the
Summer Sun Celebration
is only tonight!!!
I totally had
forgotten because I have
been busy with mail!
Now I have to work
fast to get everyponies
mail before tonight!
This will be hard but
I need to be with Dinky
when the sun rises.
This will be her first time
seeing the celebration
for herself with me.
I need to go now
as I must make haste unless
I don't want my job.
See you tomorrow,
my dear haiku journal and
this time its for real!
We are all alive!
Apparently six ponies
managed to stop her.
I have never been
so happy to be alive!
I cried afterward.
I think Dinky was
pretty confused and scared too.
Thought it was our end...
Strangely everything
has gone back to how it was
before Nightmare Moon.
I haven't heard how
they stopped her besides rumors.
I'm a nice mare but...
After what nearly
happened, I hope that they sent
her to tartarus.
Dear haiku journal,
today I had some time to
walk Dinky to school.
She still seemed bothered
by something so I asked
her about last night.
Dinky said she was
ok and that this was about
something else entirely.
As her mother I
was worried but I respect
Dinky's privacy.
I dropped her off
and gave her the lunch I made
for her before school.
She took it and looked
Extremely depressed but she
went to school anyway.
I do hope she does
Decide to tell me what’s wrong but
If she wants I’ll wait.
I did my normal
Route today and carried some
Really heavy stuff.
I have never seen
My manager so happy
After my deliveries!
She said if I keep
This up I might get a raise!
This is such great news!
Apparently some
Ponies are reconnecting
With distant loved ones,
Nightmare moon affected all
Of Equestria in a huge way
And for the better.
So there has been much
More business then usual,
Therefor more money.
I can’t wait to tell
Dinky and Bubbles about
What just transpired!
I told them and they
were so happy! Dinky was
basically dancing!
Bubbles was happy
too and wagging her tail with
us on the sofa.
I promised them I
would work even harder to
make our lives better!
Dinky said I did
not have to promise because
she already knew.
I decided to
sleep in and get ready for
tomorrows mail.
Good night dear journal,
I shall write in your pages
some time tomorrow.
Dear haiku journal,
this is my very first entry!
My name is Derpy!
I got this journal
at the reopened library,
just across the road.
The new owner must
be rich or from canterlot.
They had lots of bits.
The librarian
was a purple unicorn
with a pet dragon.
The unicorn was
quite distracted and did not
help me find my books.
She just kept mumbling
to herself about the moon
and the world ending.
The dragon was nice
and unlike the unicorn,
had better manners.
He was only a baby
but he still scared me a little.
He had such sharp teeth!
He called himself Spike
and he showed me this book.
He said it was mine.
Spike told me that a
"pink pony" dropped it off.
I can guess who.
Apparently she
told spike to give it to me,
that I would need it.
I took it but I
forgot to get the books that
I had come there for.
A shame but I have
not exactly had much bit's
on myself lately.
I have never had
a journal or diary,
even as a foal.
Perhaps that's why I
kept this book and not hoofed
it over to Dinky.
I have been sadder
then normal recently
due to my day job.
I have heard writing
can make you feel better and
helps to clear your head.
So I decided
to try my hoof at
some writing for once.
It is difficult
to write with my mouth,
It will take practice.
The art of haiku,
five syllables then seven
and then back to five.
As I write haiku's,
of my life in your pages,
I eat a muffin.
I just love muffins!
They always taste delicious-
except raisins. Blegh!
I have packed some
food for my daughter dinky
for when she gets home.
I packed her very
favorite type of muffin,
blueberry muffins!
I am glad we both
enjoy the same types of food.
Muffins are cheap.
I must say goodbye,
dear haiku journal.
See you very soon!
Author's Note
Soo... what do you think? This will seriously pick up later but for now I just wanted an introduction to what type of story this is.
Something bad happened,
I fear it may be the end.
I am terrified.
Last night I went with
Dinky to see the summer
sun celebration.
Our princess never
appeared to raise the
sun for all of us.
Instead in her place
was a horrible monster,
an evil alicorn.
She claimed to be our
new queen and that it would be
night time forever.
The royal guards tried
to stop her but she struck them
down with lightning.
I'm inside of a
hidden bunker under the
town hall with Dinky.
Other ponies are
with us and sit in the dark
wondering whats next.
I hold my daughter
against my side as she shakes
in fear of the dark.
Its really still night!
She wasn't lying at all!
Were going to die!
What do I tell her?!
I can't just tell Dinky that
we will die tonight!
A bunch of ponies
got together and found out
that we will soon freeze.
They said without sun,
that there won't be enough heat
to keep eques warm.
Blankets are already
being passed out and it feels
really cold already.
I snuck out and now
I'm in a lot of trouble
with everypony.
We didn't have enough
blankets for every pony
so I got them some.
I let in a bunch
of coldness in from outside
though by accident.
Even with blankets,
somehow it feels colder then
it had been before.
If it is ok,
can I let Dinky write in
you for a little while?
Oh, wait your a book.
You can't talk or have opinions.
Won't really matter.
i like to make art
and i like eating muffins!
my mom is awesome!
violets are red,
berries are blue,
my first haiku!
Well, thats Dinky's first
haiku and thats pretty good
for just her first try.
See you soon... or not.
If we don't make it then I
guess that means were dead.
