Open Poetry night at the Golden Expresso Cafe

[Afterglow]

[OOC] Ok so here's whats what this is a in character thread that takes place at a non-cannon open stage poetry night at the Golden Expresso Cafe in Ponyvill Hosted by you guessed it Horrorshow unlike a normal thread there well be no respected post order feel free to post as many poems in a row as you pleas (i know i well). There is only one rule in this thread the poems must be recited in character by your OCs and reflect your characters personality. For instance i wouldn't have prof. Gossamer come up on stage and recite a poem about how much he loves gardening and making new friends (because he doesn't) Any form of poetry is fare game let your inner poet (more so your OCs inner poet) fly so ya have fun.

P.S. in character applause and critic is also welcome           

It was once again Open stage poetry night at the Golden Expresso Cafe in Ponyvill the lighting was dim except for the spot light on the stage in the front of the room. Many ponies sat at the round cafe tables some here to listen. Others eager so share their poetic expression. Horrorshow took the stage the purple pony was clad in his normal clothing a purple tailcoat and top hat both accompanied by the Brass goggles that he seldom ever removed the irises of his right blue eye and left green eye enlarged by the apertures.
 
"welcome welcome boys and girls fillies and fouls lady's and gents."
"Do i dare say its time for tonights events to commence?" 

"I'm putting off the art of fright even if it is for but one night!"
"one night put aside for poetic delight."

"come on stage do not fear." 
"after all for each others poetic whims is that not why we gather here?"   

Horrorshow spoke in his standard eccentric tone his hooves waving this way and that accenting his speech as he looked out to the crowd for any pony willing to take the stage.

Horrorshow sat on stage taping his hoof when no pony volunteered he took matters into his owen hooves  

"No takers then what a shame?"
"I feel I have only my self to blame"

"O well I guess ill start"
"With a balled then A true work of art" 

"Gather around fillies and fouls"
"Ill tell the tail of Jack the Bold" 
"He set out to prove his name" 
"Way Back in the days of old" 

"On his journey He heard a legend" 
"A myth of darkness and evil" 
"From a old gypsy mare" 
"He rose from his seat in upheaval" 

“I well vanquish this beast he yelt" 
"From that day he hunted to the ends of the earth" 
"He spent all that he had on this endeavor" 
"Never stopping to judge its worth" 

"Day and night in dark and in light" 
"He looked and looked to no avail" 
"Years passed and he doubted the myth"
"But he had spent to much he could not fail"

"The legend consumed him" 
"Possessed by delusions" 
"Even when nopony challenged his claim" 
"He chased the illusions" 

"See what Jack the Bold did not know"
"Is the monster wasn’t in the dark or under his bed" 
"What he couldn’t fine in all that time" 
"Was the monster living in his head *taps head with right hoof*"       

Horrorshow gave bow standing on his hind legs then backed up so that another pony may have a chance to speak

Horrorshow waited on stage awkwardly for a bit before a ting of anger began to set in.

"I know whats wrong with you ponies!"
"You ponies are just a bunch of phonies" 

Horrorshow shouted through his teeth. The lenses on his goggles magically spun left and right changing magnification as he spoke causing his pupils to rapidly change sizes.    

"You come to this night of poetic delight"
"Yet you stay quiet it just isn't right"

Horrorshow with a sudden change in attitude took a deep breath and composed himself. 

"Im not being fair"
"Im sorry for my volatile flare"
"For once in my life i didn't want to give you a scare"
"It just seems like you ponies really don't care."

with a *sigh* Horrorshow began to walk dismally away from the mic.
