The Last Unicorn

Today’s Poetry Prompt: Write a poetic parable. Feel free to play with the form. Sometimes it is more interesting when the lesson is just a bit absurd.


Once upon a time, lived a unicorn who dreamt of being a pony.
Unicorns are unique and stand out in a crowd.
Ponies are small and blend like butter.
Thus, she figured, being a pony, would be better.

To all she met, she delcared,
I want to be a pony.
But you are a unicorn,
each and every one replied.

You don't listen,
insisted she.
I am a unicorn, but
I want to be a pony.

The moral of the story,
dear hearts, is this -
To get what you want,
Want what you get.
