This is something I wrote at McDonald's during break today. Between the Loco Moco Burger, chicken nuggets with curry sauce, fries, and summer-orange shake, I started thinking of MLP. From there, it's usually a short hop over to Twilight, but this time, she came in a round-about way.
You see, through the window, I was watching an excavator digging trenches for a new building. The stones and dirt it pulled up reminded me of Maud, and her poetry. I said to myself: "I've never written a free-form poem a la Maud before." Can't let that slide, now can I? So I put away my newest cutie mark-patch, project, ignored the gaggle of high school girls in very short skirts who seemed to think a restaurant was the perfect place for practicing folk dance, and put pen to paper. Twilight, as my muse, popped in to inspire me, and this is what I came up with.
Please enjoy!
Hmmm, this is not good. The spaces are an integral part of the poem, but WC keeps auto-formating them out. Well, it's also up on my DA journal, in the format I intended. The link is the "website" button below my sig, if you want to see it.
