This poem was written for an online gaming community known as New Dawn, on the suggestion of one of the members all the members are known as ponies, doesn't really make sense but there you go, anyway this one was written at their request and I hope that it has some of the same appeal. Unfortunately most of the jokes won't be apprant  Faithful Ponies When sleep falls into watchful eyes And tired heads fall by the side The shadows held in dark shrouds awake And cast a single jealous eye Upon the purses of men a sleeping To lift the burden of their weight As they sneak from murky holes The snarling pack does emerge in full And show to all their razor fangs With putrid breath they start their call And thousands race towards the horns To strike with fury at hearts of men And rape the fruits of their hard labour But not all Is lost for those that sleep As in their midst a pony brays When breaking free it stands to fight With hooves it kicks the dark claws back And wakes the weary eyes from dream So with sword in hand they bravely leap Into a battle with the night And howling wolves begin retreat As dawn begins to light the sky And the birds begin to sing great songs Of a brave pony in the night With a heart of steel and without fear That defends the purse of sleeping men As the shadows ready their attack And stands until the new dawn arises Faithful to it’s masters side. Andrew "If you are afraid of wolves, stay out of the woods" |

Rhonda says hi, by the way, and she likes this one. I actually like it too. It's really really well written in my opinion, so keep it up, okay? |

Zu! My man! Long time no reply, nay?  It's your old pal Riverwood - in a new skin... that's all. Anywho... I loved reading this... it reminded me of what you like doing in your poetry. Vivid imagery, that combines a dark setting with fluid shifts and segments... I love your talent... even if you stole my taste in formats...  Hoping to read again, Zu. Parasite |

This is a most interesting piece. The online gaming community you've written about in such a vivid context sound more like their own country fighting a battle then anything else. You've tied in some important images very well. I enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing it. ~M Imagination=nostalgia for the past, the absent; it is the liquid solution in which art develops the snapshots of reality. |

I am glad you all enjoyed it, this peice was mostly written for my own amusement more than anything and I really tried to keep it quiet light, I guess the jokes aren't obvious as you really need to know about the community to understand it, but I am glad that it has some sort of universal appeal.
