Discovery of Meridell Day Special

A Darigan Wandering On Discovery of Meridell Day
by valentyne_dreams

Below hovering Darigan Citadel
a place to explore lies,
my pets and I, we wander there
to kiss Mortogs, and play Ultimate Bullseye.

The Turdle racing slow but exciting,
Cheeseroller, then over to Illusen's Glade,
but always we are lured back to Shapeshifter
after collecting berries in the shade.

There isn't a solution
despite what Sinsi would say,
so my pets and I are tormented
day after day.

The impish Ixi smiles at my pets
saying, "Where would you rather be?
Here playing with my crowns and goblets
or on your Stunning Moon View balcony?" 

Put me in the Neolodge
my pets pleaded one by one, 
you already have the trophy,
are we really here for fun?

There are other places we could go,
inside the Castle has games to play,
waking up Turmaculus is a challenge,
King Skarl could use a laugh today.

Until it finally happened,
"You win." Sinsi smiled and said,
My pets all sighed in relief.
Time to head home and go to bed.

The Tralbak's Plumes
by jaudaran

Oh beautiful tralbak, with plumage so bright,
Why must you endeavour to keep out of sight?
In Meridell’s colours of red, blue, and gold,
And yet in our kingdom, so rare to behold?

In Meridell’s old shaded glades you reside,
Tucked into the shadows of forest, you hide,
Yet dapples of light through the trees as you graze,
May dance on your feathers, the colours ablaze.

When fortune’s allowed me this spectacle rare,
How can I not wish this small moment to share--
With knight and with farmer, with peasant and king--
For all to rejoice at this beautiful thing?

Oh tralbak, come venture out into the sun,
To greet rays of dawn as each new day’s begun,
And scamper through meadows, and gambol, carefree,
And let all of Meridell celebrate thee!

To Meridell Castle We Go
by aimee1308

Running goes Morris,
Bouncing past is Boris,
To Meridell Castle we go.

Kayla casting spells,
Jeran sprinting down hills,
To Meridell Castle we go.

The cheese is rolling,
Turmaculus is snoring,
To Meridell Castle we go.

Mortogs smooch,
King Skarl is not amused,
To Meridell Castle we go.

The Symol Hole,
Half-eaten Berry and a Piece of Wool,
To Meridell Castle we go.

Discovered in year four,
The month of Swimming is never a bore,
To Meridell Castle we go.

Of the Reaping and the Sowing
by audaxity

Spring’s the time for planting-
And there’s a rhythm to the rows,
Gilbert moves from space to space
Cloth bag rattling as he goes
His spade carves out the holes
His seeds tumble down inside
He buries, waters, waits for growth
There’s soil clinging to his hands
He’d wash when he was done
If there were truly any end
For he belongs to Meri Acres
Far more than it belongs to him

Summer’s time for tending-
Weeds are culled before they grow
His crops are greenling sprigs
Barely poking out to show
He’ll keep them safe and cared for
Till they rise up big and strong
In the meantime, young pets frolic
Through berries of colours all
They eat more than they pick, in truth
But Gilbert doesn’t mind it
For they belong to Meri Acres
Far more than they belong to him

Fall’s the harvest time - 
Work fast, before the snow
The Symol will take what’s not nailed down
But townsfolk needs the food he’s grown
Work lasts from dawn until the night
Each farmer’s versed in how it goes
Tom has marrows; Alton, spuds
Gilbert picks what’s left past those
The harvest would sustain all pets
Not once had Gilbert failed them
For Meridell’s heart was Meri Acres
And needing it was needing him

Winter’s resting time -
All houses braced against the cold
At noontime, Gilbert hauls in wood
To keep his fire stoked
Every year the farm is older
Just as his ever-weary bones
He worked the land as but a pup
As did each generation gone
One day, he’d too pass on the work
Till then, ‘twas here he’d live
For he’d long cared for Meri Acres
And now it would care for him

A Meridellian Feast
by myncithemonkey

On this day every year,
Meridellians gather around,
From both far and near,
To celebrate the crown.

King Skarl throws a banquet,
Food from across the land,
Straight from the royal kitchen,
The occasion is grand.

From vegetables and fruits,
To meat stew and cheese,
The feast is a delight,
All patrons it will please.

Illusen helps with drinks,
Sinsi brings the silverware,
Meridell celebrations for all,
With plenty of cheer to spare.

Haikus for Meridell Day
by phlyarologist

Pick darkberry cheese,
Dive left! Dive right! No - a branch!
Too slow. Come back soon.

Oh Turmaculus, 
King of all petpets and naps,
Wake, and eat my warf?

Visit mortog pond,
Hold on, they do what when kissed?
Um, is this legal? 

Count one, two, three, four.
Potatoes or slorgs? It’s both -
We’re in Meridell.

Tortle the Turmac
by sixlets1

Tortle the Turmac rolled through the lands of Meridell,
Searching for a buffet of berries drawn by their smell,
In King Skarl's castle there was not a berry in sight,
And Kayla's Bomberry Elixir just didn't feel right,

Thankfully he drank it fast so he didn't explode,
Out of the castle down the dirt road,
But then he smelled an unforgettable smell,
The Basket of Berries from Meridell Food always tasted so swell,

But with no neopoints there was no way,
And so a disappointed Tortle rolled away,
To Turmaculus the king of his kind,
Berries he knew where to find,

Towards Meri Acres Farm Turmaculus suggested he go,
So the young Turmac rolled to where the berries grow,
Past the Rubbish Dump where avatar collectors dwell,
As the Turmac passed one of the collectors yelled,

And so they gave chase quickly and in haste,
For his capture the Turmac braced,
But he managed to escape into the fields,
The overgrown plants served as wonderful shields,

And it was then he realized where he was hiding,
In the fields of Pick Your Own his nostrils guiding,
Grabbing as many berries as he could carry,
Chomping down feeling merry.

Let's celebrate in Meridell!
by _sahne_

Meridell, oh Meridell, you are the Neopian land that rocks! 
I love your atmosphere with medieval games and happy frogs. 
You are perfectly located between the castle and the farm, 
I never understood why Brightvale is preferred by King Hagan!

Your meadows are lush, your berries are sweet, 
Your lands have everything that a Neopian fellow needs. 
Meridell, you are so pretty, cozy and versatile, 
everybody finds a place to live, laugh and chill. 

Today, we'll all come together to celebrate, 
a medieval festival - oh, how that is great! 
Let's roll those cheese and let's kiss those frogs, 
and afterwards, we'll visit Kauvara's inviting shop. 

Make sure to keep some coins in your pocket though, 
Snargan wants us to join his Double or Nothing show.
We sure can't expect a fair game there, 
but well, isn't it all about the festival flair? 

In the afternoon, let's leave the castle and shoot an arrow, 
Punchbag bob will sure be patient with our skills so low.
We'll then let the evening pass pleasantly into the night, 
And will maybe dream of guessing the correct marrow weight.

Haiku for Meridell
by cinderpaw618

1. Little potato
sprouts leaf-brown hues in sweet field.
Kacheek family farm.

2. Lush marrow presses
deep ditch in Meridell soil.
How much does it weigh?

3. Rows of berry specked
bushes go on for miles,
weaving like baskets.

4. Even the rubbish
has a place, a purpose. Please
take all that you need.

5. Here, wide fields roll on,
endlessly green. Meridell,
home of the humble.
