UNI DAY SPECIAL

Unis Across Neopia
by Jjquil

The Uni is a graceful creature,
Sweeping tail and flowing mane
Flashing hooves and horn alike 
Galloping across terrain.

Then, with a start, feathers soar,
Winged steed takes to the sky 
Unis with their wings outstretched
No limit to how far they fly:

Circling the towers of Faerieland, 
Swooping above the Tyrannian Plateau
Weaving between the Haunted Woods 
All elegant Unis put on a show.

Solarin, warrior mage of Brightvale,
Clad in armor, shining steel, 
Charged beneath King Hagan's banner 
Uni finesse on the battlefield.

King Jazan of Qasala, his best friend 
Is his eerie, faithful Nightsteed escort;
They crossed the desert side by side
Tearing Razul's curse apart.

Beneath the ocean waves of Maraqua 
Lies a famous gourmet restaurant, kelp
As well known as their menu is their waitress
Their glamorous aquatic Uni help. 

On the sunny shores of Mystery Island
A Uni defeated an evil mask 
Tawnia, hooves and stripes of gold,
Now Jhuidah's champion from that task.

Within the city of Neopia Central 
A kindhearted pink Uni volunteers her time
Helping homeless Neopets get adopted
Through her kindness, and charms sublime. 

There are Unis in every land 
Beautiful creatures, spirited, free 
Watch them soaring, galloping, dancing
Above the clouds and below the sea.

Snot Uni
by Chavo_guerrero

The pretty Uni is so vain,
She pampers all day long,
But not all of these Neopets,
Look like they belong.

The slimy, green snot Uni,
Is sticky and quite gross,
She is the very opposite,
Of the others grandiose.

But still she holds her head up high,
And shakes her dripping mane,
She knows she is not beautiful,
But she's too proud to complain.

And as today is Uni Day,
I think we should ignore the slime,
And give a hug (although it won't be nice),
And make snot Unis feel sublime!

Nightsteed The Uni
by Jokerless

Unseen within the dark of shadow
Accursed he takes a terrible form
Nightfall will yield his famous haunt
Doomed to remain half-deformed

The light of day provides escape
Dawn to dusk he's a lighter blue 
Until that fateful hour grows too late
An awful change arrives on queue

Companion of noble prince Jazan
Never once left his side when weak
Tries to make the best of anything
No matter how desperate or bleak

With skin a shade of rotting green
Powerful red eyes draw you near
Old bandages drape along his hide
Strong enough to sense your fear

Despite his outward appearance
No 'pet could be a better friend
Seldom would be as courageous  
His proof of heart is not pretend

Water Uni
by Agedbeauty

A water Uni’s hooves
Don’t clop upon the road;
No, no steady knocking sound
Will betray their motion.

And though a royalgirl Uni
Might be a creature of grace,
She simply cannot match
The fluid step of water Unis.

The royalboy Uni might
Seem to be quite regal,
But he pales beside
The liquid majesty of water Unis.

And while a plushie Uni
Might have a squishy quiet step,
Even her footstep is loud compared
To the water Uni’s silent gait.

So elegant is the water Uni,
That none others do compare,
For when light rests upon her mane,
She sheds rainbows everywhere.

The Waitress Of Kelp
by Dr_tomoe

At a place most exclusive
at the bottom of the sea
is a place named kelp
that you just have to sea.

This Maraquan restaurant
caters to the elite
and if you can get a reservation
you're in for a treat.

The waitress will greet you
and get you a table
and give you a menu
for you to order when able.

If it all looks delicious
then just simply ask what meal
that you think you should order
and she'll reply with great zeal.

To start with an appetizer, 
she would have to say
that the Angel Hair Salad
looks good today.

For a main course of the meal
she will suggest
that the Ocean Platter
is up to the test.

For a cocktail today
you simply must taste
the Blue and Orange Rambus Blend
delivered from the station in space.

Finally, for dessert,
if you wish to eat well
go for the gusto
and order the Triple Chocolate Shell.

The order is placed
the waitress delivers the food
it's the best you've ever eaten
and that's no like dude.

But a price must be paid
for a meal so exquisite.
The price comes out to
67,400 Neopoints. Plus tip.

The Ballad Of Nightsteed
by Aquaticblumaroo

Lying in a corner of the hot desert
A zombified Uni lies
Wishing to fly again
His burnt wings sit with lost dreams
He reminisces on his past and his future

His owner and best friend betrayed him
The evil Prince Jazan cursed him
So Nightsteed grew into 
A ghastly and zombified being
Nightsteed was told to hunt Tomos and Nabile
Nightsteed reluctantly complied
To search for them immediately
Nightsteed found them, but they ran away
Nightsteed thought all hope was lost
That was true, as Prince Jazan was defeated
They returned to their kingdom
But Nightsteed remained deformed

Nightsteed had been cursed for too long
Despite his owner's betrayal
He still stays
He was supposedly evil
But Nightsteed knows
That someday, he might finally escape

The Faerie Uni Named Shonee
by Mamasimios

Noble and trustworthy steed
Is the Faerie Uni named Shonee;
Advisor to the air faerie Avaray,
This Uni is her loyal attache

As blue as the cerulean sky
The sun draws fire from his eyes
His mane puts shame to the wispy clouds
As he crosses the vault, sublime and proud

His wings of pink belie their strength,
Appearing delicate throughout their length,
And yet they propel him with great speed,
Churning the air in high stampede

Begird by gilded straps and lashings
He breezes by, golden aura flashing,
His bridle and saddle are not for riding
But serve to protect him; armour unabiding

Think not his cavorting counts as play,
Shonee is hard at work for Avaray,
Heeding the air faerie's every behest
He helps her with her many quests

Searching, ceaseless, Shonee traverses
The dome of the known universe
In partnership, he is uncomplaining,
With perseverance, never waning

Tawnia, Island Shopkeep
by Geneames1

On Mystery Island's sandy shore
there sits a little shack
that's piled high with souvenirs
and island bric-a-brac.

"Take a look," the shopkeep says
and beckons with her hoof.
"Anything that you might want
is underneath this roof."

"A shell in which the ocean roars?
Look there, upon that shelf."
"A piece of driftwood for a friend?
Get two; for them and for yourself!"

"I know you'll love whatever you buy
be it thimble or small silver spoon
and even though you're leaving now
I hope you come back soon."

Fashionista
by Trubiekatie

In the Neopian Bazaar,
There's a special shop.
Known for clothes,
They sell cheap tops.

The clerk is friendly,
With light blonde hair.
Equipped with glasses,
This girl has flair.

Looking for clothes?
Shirts, pants, or a vest?
True to the slogan,
They carry the finest.

When you're ready to buy,
Haggle for the best deal.
You'll walk out excited,
"This place is a steal!"

Head quickly back home,
And to your Closet.
Try on your new items,
Before you forget!

Since it is Uni Day,
Go to this great shop.
Cheap and cheerful;
It's worth the stop!

Hooves
by Sheynacruz

The sound of hooves
Is everywhere
Today --

Thunder on the battlefield
A thousand armored hooves
Roar 'cross the dust

Faces stare through windows
Watching water Uni hooves
Dance on the glass

Uni-shoes clatter
Through Sakhmet's streets
Dragging wooden carts

With hardened hooves
Moltaran smiths
Forge their iron parts

But louder than the hooves of battle,
Chariots,
Rain,
Or metal,
A joyous hoofbeat 
Fills Neopia
As Unis celebrate
Their special day.
