A Rubbish Wish
by Selina_ann

There's a brand new avatar
For all Neopia to see,
You get it by discarding 
Junk from your inventory!

You dig in and clean out your 
Safety Deposit Box,
Of omelettes, jellies, smelly fish, 
And other useless rocks!

I've tossed out thousands of items,
My fingers, they are sore,
From clicking many items,
It really is a bore!

If all of us who play the game
Click, discard, and throw,
The database will be so quck
And run faster instead of slow!

I guess that it is random
This avatar called Rubbish,
To see it appear upon my screen
Is my most desired wish!

The Trading Post's Inner Beauty
by Buzzland3

Trading Post, oh Trading Post, 
What reason for your betrayal?
I put my items into you 
But it was to no avail 
I had my items all chosen, 
My wishlist all made
And what comes next? 
It's time to create a trade!

But I waited and waited
Fifteen minutes, to be exact
And I begin to consider
That there may be no Neopoints 
There to extract. 

I finally come to the conclusion 
That no offers are coming in
So I put the items 
In my Safety Deposit Box 
Now everyone wins!

Enjoying The Evening Tide
by Trubiekatie

When the day comes to an end,
Neopians head to the sand.
Here they relax and await,
Needing to be fanned.

The weather is hot and humid,
And the sun is setting now.
The sun fades to night sky,
The colors simply wow.

Though this event is fleeting,
Those colors are forever.
Choose a Neopet to paint,
Which can be done whenever.

Draik, Aisha, or Lenny,
Pick out of the three.
More will be released,
That I can foresee.

If you seek the color,
Try one of two things:
Use the special paint brush,
Or Naia’s lovely spring.

Either way you choose,
Be proud of your eventide!
When you explore together,
You’ll have sunset at your side.

Ode To Bruno
by Signatory

Lumbering, bulking, frightful
A cry rips through the air
But what you’ll find is delightful:
Bruno, he doesn’t mean to scare!

The appearance of a monster
With the biggest heart in the land
And a soul as soft or softer
Than even Fyora of Faerieland!

Just a splash of Hissi Oil
Turned him into such a form
But there’s no need to recoil
For Bruno’s smile is warm

Many years of isolation
With the most limited of care
But he remains an inspiration
Such devotion, compassion is rare

A Neopet, hero, and friend
Bruno only thinks to ease
He shouldn’t remain trapped and denned
So respect the Gelert, please.

A New Guild
by Chavo_guerrero

Joining in's never easy,
When you're the newbie of the group,
Sometimes it's best to take a while,
Whilst hugging your plushie Lupe,
To read what everyone's talking about,
And try to work out who's who,
Take a moment to introduce,
So everyone recognises you.

Then perhaps a harmless comment,
To test the waters first,
And never just post anything,
Unless it's well rehearsed.
But I'm sure you will be welcomed,
If you have chosen right,
If this new guild is the one for you,
It's the best place on the site!

Join in with the fun and games,
And make some new friends fast,
A place to feel like you're a home,
And no longer an outcast!
