Pteri Day Special!

A Pteri Day Treat
by a_ramsell

I've been waiting for this all year;
Pteri Day, my favorite day!
The occasion warrants a special treat,
So it's off to the bakery, without delay!

I push open the door and inhale,
Taking in the delicious scent.
But, unable to wait any longer,
I stride to the counter with intent.

I'm met with a myriad of treats;
Everything looks so yummy!
How's a Pteri supposed to choose?
I pause to admire some worm-shaped gummies.

Chocolate, strawberry, raspberry, lemon,
Caramel and blueberry!
The list of treats I want to buy
Is much greater than what I can carry.

And then I spot it!
The perfect treat for me.
Light and crispy, covered with frosting;
The Red Pteri Cookie.

I inform the shopkeeper of my selection,
And he retrieves it from the case.
I take it from him, excited,
With the biggest smile on my face!

I hurry quickly out of the shop
Admiring the cookie's design.
I scrutinize the details,
The image oon the cookie is quite fine!

But now I can wait no longer,
And I bring the cookie to my face.
I nibble at it with my curved beak,
And enjoy the white chocolate taste.

No matter how you celebrate the day,
Be sure to grab a special treat!
It's a Pteri Day tradition
That surely can't be beat!

The Black Pteri
by myncithemonkey

Ominous and brooding,
Forever eluding,
Fight him if you so dare,
But prepare to despair.

Over dark clouds he flew,
Death is all around you,
A ghastly bird of yore,
To return nevermore.

His piercing eyes do gleam,
You cannot help but scream,
No sooner to realize,
Utter, looming demise.

Harbinger of evil,
Of strife and upheaval,
Engulfing all that's merry,
None other than the Black Pteri.

The Cutest Little...Egg?
by umbrex

Deep amidst the stick-strewn nest
there is a Neopet, cute and small.
All is quiet, but only at first;
only until it decides to squall.

And what is this pet you ask?
Well, clearly it can be no other
than a Baby Pteri, a little egg,
identical, but no less cute than its brother.

A shapely, rounded, pointed sphere,
speckled with some lovely dots,
Baby Pteris are aesthetically great,
white contrasting with their orange spots.

And what you see is not all you get,
because these pets are also known
not to eat very much at all;
honestly, how to feed an egg is unknown.

So for Pteri Day, if you have the room,
find a Paint Brush or adopt from the pound
a beautiful, little Pteri egg of your own
a little round friend to keep safe and sound.

Pteri sky high
by table

During my all my walks through Neopia
I like staring at the pteri flying through the sky, like a living work of art in a galleria.
Putting all their colors on display
They look truly magical, if I may say.

Their fluffy feathery tummies, often a little plump
I try to grab them with a high jump.
But I can never reach so high in the skies
So the golden pteri will always stay the top prize!

I hope they someday come and visit me on the ground
I mean, they can’t be air bound?
Or do they only rest, high up in the trees?
Perhaps Pteri are magical, that’s why they fly so long with so much ease.

For pteri day I might lay in the lost desert sand
Staring at the pteri in the sky, never bland
I hope I can see a faerie pteri in the skies
I wouldn’t believe my eyes.

Pteri Day Party
by lil_reef

The Pteri's wings stretch and fan,
Soaking up the warm sun's glow,
There is really nothing better than,
Flying with the wind's whistling flow.

He flies straight through fluffy clouds,
And they burst into a soft mist,
The sun can now smile below on the crowds,
Gathered here for a party - all here to assist!

Streamers and balloons fill the sky,
Shimmering and sparkling amazingly,
Added by Pteri decorators to beautify,
As the party guests all wait patiently.

The countdown for the party begins...

Let the Pteri Day Party Begin!!

Terry the Pteri
by musicpops

Terry the Pteri's just so fly
He has no worries and is never shy
His feathers are always spic and span
He's got the best wings in the land!

Gliding through the air so smoothly
He is one with the wind, truly
Soaring up above so high
His only limit is the sky!

The early bird catches the worm
But it gives Terry a heartburn
Cheese Omelettes are what he prefers
They're also good for lunches and dinners!

Today Terry's busy with all Pteris
'Cause the Flying Championships are on
And I'm cheering for Terry to win
Don't forget, the race starts at dawn!

Terrific Pteris!
by yellowstefy

Today I found a special pet in the pound.
No special colour but is safe and sound.
A feathery, kind neopet called a Pteri.
It’s time to paint him, what colour should he be?

A mutant Pteri? They look so majestic and cool.
Maybe a Maraquan Pteri who likes to swim in a pool.
Grey Pteris look so sad and down.
Or a colour thats simple such as brown.

A darigan Pteri with their red eyes that shine.
An invisible Pteri that would make me think I’ve gone blind!
A chocolate Pteri with a beak made of candy corn.
It’s so hard to decide! I’m officially torn.

So many colours for Pteris to be.
And all of them I’d definitely like to see.
Not to mention today is Pteri day!
They’ll be another new Pteri colour on its way!

The Maintenance Bird
by miraday

Nothing loads. Life is paused, reality blurred.
No one is here— except the Maintenance Bird.
The red Pteri appears, the cardinal colored omen.
A squawk guffaws from his piercing sharp beak.
“It is decided so! This page is temporarily broken!”
The dastardly figure finally speaks.

His talons scratch at the unloaded floor.
He offers you games for if you are bored.
“The lag isn’t so bad, this should only take a few,”
The Pteri promises, his eyes transfixed upon you.
“You know, this is the only time I get to chat,
Otherwise I’m gone until the lag comes back.”

What a thought to consider! You’re taken aback.
How challenging of a job to always be attacked!
You figure the Pteri is met only with frustration
As something fails to load or is being fixed.
“How does it feel being the face of maintenance?”
You ask, incredulous of the large Pteri in your midst.

“I love my job, I really do, though it’s lonely, too.
Would you look at that? The loading has gone through!”
The red Pteri rises as the world around you is restored.
“It’s always too short, but it was nice to meet and talk.
There’s too much to do, too much to see and explore.
So hopefully we shall not meet soon!” he squawks.

The Blue Pteri
by jeancgirl

Walking along the plain,
One dry, dusty day,
The heat was such a drain.
When suddenly out of the fray.

A nest of twigs before me.
Crouching down quickly,
I peered inside with glee.
Never having seen such a beauty.

Hatched surely from an egg, 
A feathery head popped up,
Beak wide open to beg, 
Obviously in need of grub.

With its flat stumpy limbs,
And rather short wings,
I wondered if Pteris were dim, 
Or if they knew some things. 

Straight up upon his head, 
Bright blue feathers sat, 
And there from his bed, 
Eyes met mine that shined back.

He puffed up his body,
And opened his little wings
For a sound so gaudy,
And with quite a ring. 

So I went and searched out,
For a big juicy grub, 
And soon without a doubt
I found quite a nub.

Down the beak it went, 
Along with quite a few more, 
And when I was spent, 
From the exhausting chore. 

I gazed upon his sleeping face, 
Happy to have finally found,
A little blue Pteri,
A pet of my very own.

The Golden Pteri Grants Great Gold
by _brainchild_

The Golden Pteri, dance aloft,
Bears movement to delight.
His feathers, sweet, are very soft---
They calm a soldier's might.
The hue of gold, adorned by shine,
Relaxes spirits. Tense
And anxious feelings fade to fine
Emotes of joyous sense.

His beauty is combined with bliss
In form of given gold.
Benevolence will not be missed.
However, I am told
That gifts will never be bestowed
Unless you are a Pteri.
If you can fly, then loot is owed.
If not, you won't be merry!

So, Pteris fair, rejoice upon
The sight of airborne gold.
When shiny loot appears, be fond---
Admire his flight so bold.
Enjoy his gift---it buys a heap
Of treasures oh so sweet.
These benefits all birds will reap
From one they're glad to meet.

Little Pteri
by guranji

Little Pteri over there,
       I see you, flying here and there.
          
          Little Pteri, what do you see,
       When you fly upon the breeze so free.

  Little Pteri in the sky, oh how you fly so high,
   Speeding across the sky at a breakneck pace,
     Always flying around, like your in a race.

        Little Pteri I love to hear you sing,
        Your voice has such a melodious ring.
        
         Little Pteri, oh how cute you are,
    You are a Neopet who will continue to go far.

      While you fly though the vast Neopia sky,
               flying oh so very high,
       Please feel free to fly by and say Hi.

Down for Maintenance
by kiwigoddesskimmie

I am the red pteri and I make bold statements
You probably know me as "down for maintenance"

But like all pteris, I'm always happy and fun
Even with a job that seems like it'd be none

But what would happen if I weren't around?
Something boring like "this page couldn't be found"

I know technical difficulties make you want to cry
But I offer familiarity when the site has gone awry

So when I appear and you're spewing blethers
Remember this, and don't let it ruffle your feathers

Good Night Pteri
by shfamily

Say goodnight to the world
close your eyes tiny bird
let the stars calm your nerves
say goodnight to the world
when you wake and your eyes can see
wont you please just promise me
in yourself you will believe
when you wake and you eyes can see
if the day breaks you down
pick yourself up of the ground
know that you can turn it around
if the day breaks you down
close you eyes to the world 
say goodnight tiny bird
let the starts calm your nerves
say goodnight to the world
