Canterlot Tales
Upon the warm days of the April showers
As I walked among the flowers
I came across a small sweets store
perhaps this would cure my midday bore
As I entered I was welcomed by
the savory smell of sweets,which was no lie
I greeted my six pals
we were all quite colorful gals
each one was special in their own way
and describing them could take a day.
first was Applejack, solid and true
if you needed something, she was the pony for you
but she was as hard headed as a pony can be
once she did not even accept help from me
Her mane was like new hay
and her coat like peaches harvested today
on her flank were three apples, bright and red
she was quite diligent, but not too bright in the head
her moderate green eyes
could tell no lies
Following her was the strong rainbow dash
if you were in trouble, she was there in a flash
the fasted pegasus to fly out of cloudsdale
she thought herself, too awesome to fail
her sky blue coat could hide in the skies
if it was not for her rainbow mane that caught everypony's eyes
a rainbow an cloud decorated her flank
though it seemed a bit gaudy, being honestly frank
her magenta eyes held no fear
If you needed a friend she was here
then came Fluttershy, soft and sweet
on kindness she could not be beat
A pony scared of her own shadow
but could make a dragon bow below
her, her voice is soft hum
gentle and lovely but a bit glum
her light pink mane hid her face
which to many ponies is quite a disgrace
her mane was like the yellow orchids of spring
adorned on each side with two pairs of wings
her cutie mark showed her love, for all the critters helpless and small
on her flank were three butterflies, like the ones that saved her from that fall
next was Rarity, a unicorn with flair
it was apparent she had the best hair
it was a purple worthy of kings
her white coat was always decorated with blings
three gems decorated her flank
she thought herself quite swank
Though she seemed quite vain
nothing brought her greater pain
than seeing a pony who lacked fashion sense
it made her heart feel very tense
she would dress up the whole town if she could
though I'm not sure if that would be so good
last was pinkie pie and what was to say
she could have you laughing all day
her crazy pink hair as springy as she
but it used to be straight when she was a filly
a bright pink was she
and not a better could she could be
a pony who loved all sorts of fun
if you wanted a party she was the one
she can seem too strange
but soon your feelings will change
true to her party loving zest
were three balloons, that no pony could detest
a pony who could make you laugh and stop feeling blue
pinkie pie was the pony for you
we talked amongst ourselves quite merrily
the types of conversation we had ordinarily
but soon lightning flashed across the store's window pane
which gave stop to our day, that was mundane
Fluttershy quivered in fear.
"are we going have to leave here?"
the rain poured down
causing every pony to frown
Mrs. Cake appeared with a gentle smile
"I know how you ponies could be entertained for a while"
the ponies gave her a quizzical look
pinkie asked "are we going to gobbledygook?"
Mrs. Cake laugh and shook her head
"no, why don't you tell stories instead?"
the ponies grinned liking the suggestion
only rainbow dash had a question
"stories, are you serious?
You guys must be delirious"
Mrs. cake laughed and said with a wink
"this will be more interesting than you think,
I plan on giving the best story a prize
a savory sweet surprise"
now all the ponies were quite fascinated
the idea of a award, making them motivated
author's note:
First fanfiction, I think it went ok, some constructive crticism would be greatly appreciated.
