Usul Day Special

My First Neopet
by xxsitrus

The air is colder
My Usul, another year older
Seven years have passed
Since I last celebrated
My first little Neopet
Must be elated 
I am back in full swing
Save for a present,
Maybe a ring?
Something she deserves
For waiting all along

I remember her first fight
An Usul Axe with all her might
And a Rainbow Usul Plushie 
Was all she ever loved
Saved so long to paint
Like the dolls I could never have
She still stayed the same
After all this lost time

With new days ahead
Holiday time will soon spread
Tied in a pretty big bow
With the red string of fate
I'll look towards new memories
Alongside my Usul
And you can too
With any colour, 
From the Rainbow Pool

Dark Warrior Usul Outfit
by indulgences

Beware the Usul warrior
Who dons this savage suit.
This Usul is a cutthroat dame.
This Usul is a brute.

Her temper is quite fiery.
She’s dangerous and bold.
She holds her head up, powerful,
So haughty to behold.

The Headgear worn atop her head
Is made of magic hide.
It shimmers with an inner force.
She wears the helm with pride.

No earthly soul knows what was killed
To make that magic helm.
The Armour, likewise, is a hide
Of magic and of spell.

The Shoes are silent, light and swift.
They make no errant noise.
The Usul wears them on her feet,
And walks with deadly poise.

And finally, the magic Skirt
Is made of darkest twill.
It won’t betray her whereabouts,
To suit her vicious will.

This outfit is quite formidable,
And suits the Usul well.
She’s barbarous and murderous.
She’s evil and she’s fell!

Celebrating Usul Day!
by painted_dreams87

On this very special day,
we celebrate a pet that made its way
into our lives so many years ago
that when exactly, we don't know.

Let's honour a Usul on their big day!
Don't hesitate, fret, or delay!
There's much to celebrate about them,
so let's highlight what makes them a gem.

They walk on their hind paws with command,
their fluffy and pointed ears take a stand,
but its really their big fluffy tail
that makes others, when compared, pale.

A Usul is always well groomed with care,
with a grand ribbon around their tail for flair.
Ties around their ears are common too,
a tidy pet through and through.

Enjoy this special day with your pet,
a trip to the Beauty Parlor will be a hit, I bet.
Or take some time to play in the snow,
they enjoy Terror Mountain, you know.

Wonderful Usuls
by allthewaydown

Zip! Zip!
There the Usuls go!
They are excited and cheerful
as they are skiing through the snow.

They have fluffed up their tails
and straightened their bows,
now they won't fail
their confidence shows!

They can appear haughty
but are actually sweet.
Usuls are more than just cute,
they can be the best friends you'll meet!

So when you see an Usul while on your way,
please tell them
"Congratulations!
It's your special day!"

The Shadow Usul
by kayahtik

The Shadow Usul creeps about late at night
She’s always lurking just out of your sight
She makes no sound,
But you know she’s around
When all of your courage takes flight

Like yellow flames, her eyes burn in the dark
And just like that your fear starts to spark
There’s nowhere to run,
Nought to be done
It’s too late to escape - you’re her next mark

She disappears at first light like her namesake
And since opaque shadows leave no trace,
You have no proof to show,
No one will know, 
The horror you faced before daybreak

Never will you forget her burning gaze,
But all will be deaf to your rants and your raves
A fool and a liar,
Just a wolf crier,
They’ll call you for the rest of your days

Neopian Petpet Shopkeeper
by l0000000l

Shrouded within a blue mushroom shop,
Little creatures seem to scurry and hop,
Under the surveillance of a Usul nonstop,
These cute petpets are in no need of a mop.

If you've taken up the challenge of Petpetsitter,
You'll know how easy it is to be a quitter,
So for this Usul to manage the entire litter,
Kudos to her for her patience with the critters. 

You see, not all Usuls are bratty and vain,
Though well-groomed, they are entirely sane,
Some even stock petpets for you to obtain,
The Neopian Petpet Shopkeeper leads this reign.

"Keep your Neopet happy with a pet of its own!"
She greets others with pleasure—not a groan,
Eizzils, Kookiths, and Hasees are all well-known,
Spot a Kadoatie? It's like finding a gemstone.

No matter your choice in a lavish new pet,
Being lonely is a concern you need not fret,
Just don't forget the kind Usul you've met,
And thank her with the utmost gratitude yet!

The Baby Usul
by _razcalz_

Lilac bows adorn her ears, 
Soft ribbon by her fluffy tail. 
A nibble here, some munching there;
She leaves a telltale cookie crumb trail. 
The Baby Usul's easy to delight, 
Her tiny paws point to the skies. 
Wonder, joy, and excitement 
In her wide, wide purple eyes. 

It's Usul Day, and the baby wants 
A taste of all the sweets you've brought. 
Bonbons, cupcakes, lollipops, 
She'll take them by the lot. 
Most cordial is her little laugh, 
The way she zooms in spurts. 
Such sweetness can be fed only by 
The sweetest of desserts! 

Go on, then, have some cake, 
It is a holiday, after all. 
Some Usul Meringue will surely please 
This princess Usul doll.
Indulge, little one, and if you've got room, 
The Usul Shakes are quite supreme! 
Finally, for the journey home, 
A lovely pink ice cream. 

On Usul Day, the baby's the boss, 
So long as she remembers to brush and floss!

The Desert Usul Speaks of Mirages
by symbolism

I step into the heat of my promised land,
its sprawling blue sky and shifting sand.
I am not sure what guides me: my rod or feet?
What I know for sure: the weight of this heat.

And the desert sun may scorch red and bright,
but the desert moon sears into the night
like a stark white ache inside my hollow bones.
This place may be lonely, but it has become my home.

And what will I make of this distance, strange and vast?
A glittering oasis and fruitful trees. Will its bounty last?
When I grow weary, I forget that my senses can betray me.
I smell the newness of earth, feel the freshness of sea. 

There's a thirst forming in the back of my mind.
It parches my tongue. But I won't let it leave me behind.
There's a hunger growing like a sorrowful weed,
but I know it is not this illusion of food that I need. 

What I need: the end to this endless trek,
which I will see soon so long as I don't look back.
The sun, the moon, the starless nights that keep me awake--
may you guide me to what is real, away from what is fake.

The Guardian of Spectral Magic
by precious_katuch14

Lurking within the Mountain Fortress
Is a formidable, dangerous foe
Boasting strange battle prowess
And promising challengers great woe.

A master of the Spectral magic sphere,
An Usul made of light and shadow
Brings travellers dread and fear
With every trick that it knows.

Hard to find, and harder to catch,
It evades every attack with ease.
Here one moment, then there to snatch
Victory, and bring its enemy to its knees.

Keep your cards close to your chest,
Lest this Usul pierce through your defence.
This Guardian will give you no rest,
Moving within shadows, striking in silence.

Do you dare cross the Guardian's path?
Would you challenge it to a fight?
Would you risk its dark wrath
For what is just and right?

The Guardian is no fool
The Guardian is no child.
It is no one's tool
It is power gone wild.

The Wraith Usul
by sunbathr

eyes that flicker in the night,
slashes of yellow, hot and bright,
reside in shadows, walking shade -
bathed in dusky purple, wraiths
that flit about like opaque ghosts,
half-here, half-gone, alarming most.

the Wraith Usul, wreathed in flame,
grins in purple, feels no shame,
haughty and proud, treds her own path,
her countenance suggesting wrath -
and yet! she longs for comforts still:
the depths of night, fraught with chill

and each and every waking storm,
gilded in ice, raising alarm
for all that walk in flesh and warmth
rather than Wraith, than those half-formed
who seek out the night and aching cold
and therein make their happy abode.

she parallels the world we know,
this Wraith, this Usul, on her own,
delights in shadows, in fearful thrills,
adores the icy winter's chill -
she's never feared the dark nor cold -
she's never feared the world at all.
