A Taxing Yurble Encounter
By Anjie

What figure haunts your dreams at night?
No other gives such horrid fright.
Leaving one in horrid plight?
Alas! The Tax Beast comes!

At any time, at any place,
No warning, just surprise.
Like a tempest storming in,
With malice in his eyes.

No escape and no excuse,
Paw quickly stretches out.
"PAY YOUR TAXES, PAY UP NOW!"
You'll hear that raging shout.

Dare you carry cash on hand?
Regret it? Far too late.
Keep your gold stored safe away,
Or, friend, you dice with fate.

Like a menace, tainted green,
Dual horns atop his head.
One Yurble who can create fear,
Bring havoc, install dread.

'Something has happened!' Sadly true,
No treat with this event.
Just an angry Tax Beast grin,
As he claims his percent.

Store your gold within the bank,
Or Yurble won't be lax.
In stomping over in a huff,
Demanding you pay tax.

What figure haunts your dreams at night?
No other gives such horrid fright.
Leaving one in horrid plight?
Alas! The Tax Beast comes!

The Court Dancer
By Precious_katuch14

Skirts sweeping the shining floors,
Bursting in from the double doors,
Everyone's heads turn, they see her --
Behold the majesty of the Court Dancer!

With every step, tambourine does jingle,
With every turn, trinkets do jangle,
Unparalleled skill put to the test,
Showing that her dance is the best.

A twist here and a swing there,
Grace to which nothing can compare.
Her moves hypnotise and fascinate,
Suddenly anything else must wait.

Crowds are captured by her spell;
However, she doesn't really mean well.
A servant of Lord Kass, a pawn, a spy,
Her innocent appearance is but a lie.

Hiding underneath that misty smile
Is an evil purpose, a plan so vile.
The Court Dancer, Meridell wouldn't suspect,
So Lord Kass' scheme they did not detect.

But Lisha saw through the magic and glitter,
Her pace could not have been quicker.
She found a solution to this strange mystery
That ended the performance instantly.

She was exposed, now all can see
How much of a danger she can be.
The dance is over, the plan is done;
It was time for the Court Dancer to run.

The dancer fled, running far away,
In Meridell, she was not going to stay.
Today, the Court Dancer is a no-show --
Where she is now, we'll never know.

The Hunt for the Hidden Tower
By Aidan_hood

All over Faerieland, brave explorers go forth
Picking directions, east, west, south, and north.
They all are in search of one truly special power,
With treasure inside, yes, the Hidden Tower.
I joined in the hunt, looking low and looking high,
To explore all the clouds, I even learnt how to fly.

But paint brushes: Darigan, baby, and royal,
Will they really be worth all this toil?
As for those weapons, are they really that strong?
Is the Battle Dung all just an overrated pong?
Plushies and dolls, are you the best toys?
Surely there's better for the good girls and boys?

The Wheel of Excitement, the Healing Springs,
I'm sure you both give out magical things.
But you're not what I long for, what I desire,
You cannot ease this burning fire!
I have one target, one place to go.
When I reach there, only then will I know
That this journey was worth all the effort and time
And glorious treasures within, they'll be mine!

Wait, what is that? I see a flash of light
And the golden gates, all shining bright!
She stood there, Fyora, the Faerie Queen,
Ruling over the land, the leader supreme.
I'd made it at last, I'd reached the end!
The tower, with treats on which my NP I can spend.
You ask, was it worth it, this gruelling quest?
My answer is simple, a definite yes!

Stargazer Ruki
By Concertogreat_8

Dreamy eyes, looking upward. Trained to the
Heavens. Look, look, stargazer Ruki.
Celestial ongoings interest few, but she
Understands. Understood.
(breathe. watch. believe.)

Clouds dance across velvet blanket-night,
Breath mists in frigid air. Look, look, dreamer Ruki.
Down on Neopia, but kilometres away. Dancing
To the beat of the heavens.
(dance. listen. learn.)

Wide-open eyes see constellations hidden
From normal sight; a child with a special talent,
Oh surely, surely. They remind her, no daydreaming. Ruki eyes only, can see.
Star-dreaming. Ride the solar waves.
(sing. dream. yearn.)

Star-gazing Ruki sees more than we ever do.
Sees in-between the lines, in-between the stars,
Maybe in-between us, too. We only hope
And thought we knew.
(smile. rejoice. gaze.)

The Rubbish Dump of Meridell
By Indreams

It towers high above the land
of rolling hills and castles grand.
But it is no majestic sight;
rather, it's a peculiar fright.

Near Meri Acres Farm you'll find
the Rubbish Dump of Meridell:
the place that is one of a kind
with its overpowering smell.

Zeenana peels and strange green seeds
are things that one no longer needs,
and so they're tossed atop the pile,
where they will rot in a short while.

But even in the rotting stuff,
small goods and treasures lie in wait!
Things of which you can't get enough;
grab them now, before it's too late!

If you but overcome the smell,
you really might just do quite well
collecting what was left behind:
the little treasures of the time.
