THE CUTIE MARK POEMS
– Ponies with Amorphis

[Click here for the accompanying song]

A Spell Guided Her Quest



My heart in learning of arts
To be a costumer of lives
An artisan graceful
Needles and threads my swords and shields
My armors made of the finest silks

I had a talent to craft
An eye to match
With a young ambition:
Make dresses of princess' worth
Sew suits fit for a prince

But still my skills were lacking
The final touch to fulfill my art…

In evening's dim it flickered:
Spell evoked from the heart
With magic's guide I started
The journey to the unknown

"Come rain or snow or choking drought
I won't turn away!
I'm on my way to find out
My destiny's call, what I yearn for…"


Followed the path for my fate
For what lies beyond the far horizon
My spell led me across the land
Through forests, rivers and hills

Came night, faded daylight
But magic sign still showing forward
Neither hunger nor thirst held me
Not all the dirt in the world

With sunset I kept on moving
With sunrise already on the road…

In evening's dim it had flickered:
Spell evoked from the heart
With magic's guide I had started
The journey to the unknown

"Come rain or snow or choking drought
I won't turn away!
I'm on my way to find out
My destiny's call, what I yearn for…"


At the mountain range my spell finally fades
I'm at the quest's end, what was to find:

This the fate I searched?
Rock atop the hill?
Spell had led me onto the brink of worthless stone?

Sudden, a flash of colored light tore the core of stone apart.
The bowels of earth offered her their hearts, precious gems…

LISTEN THIS SONG WITH THE POEM FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT [link]

This poem is my tribute to the heroic acts of a young artist who defied uncertain dangers on her way to destiny!

I had some serious problems on what song would describe Rarity’s tale the best. I had sampled nearly every song on the catalog, until I finally chose “On a Stranded Shore”. But even that felt a bit uninspiring, as it’s not exactly one my favorite songs like the others used for the series.

Then I got stuck with “Song of the Sage” playing in my head, which I had considered to use for a poem about Star-Swirl the Bearded (just for the name!), until it inspired me to write this.

I was a bit uncertain about some of the stuff here, but then I just thought “this is about Rarity, of course it has to be a bit over-the-top!” After all the sad and a bit dark stuff I've been writing recently, I finally managed to write an honestly ham-filled and fun epic! I especially find the growled chorus hilarious when heard from our dear fashionista’s mouth.

Oh you mean Rainbowdash's sonic rainbow boom, well that did something to her and now she's able to find gemstones and crystals inside rocks and that's how she got her cutie mark. It happened to all the ponies.

Yeah, I know. Sonic Rainboom will be mentioned in most of these poems.
(Unless I find a way of not including it in Rainbow Dash' poem. Now wouldn't that be a twist xD)

Technically Sonic Rainboom didn't do anything to Rarity. It just opened the rock so Rarity found the gems. She got the spell beforehand, somehow, and followed it to the rock.

Thanks for fav'.
