Usul Usul Day Special!

Unusual Usuls
by heautontimouromenos

Let Gilly guide you through the woods
This curious Usul, red hood and lamp,
Stumbled upon a gypsy camp.
Now she sits in Neovia,
Eating the Crumpetmonger’s baked goods.

You turn around to look: “Hello?
Who’s that in the corner?”
You ask, hushed, in horror.
It’s an Usul without body, all Shadow!

Printed on a stamp,
Is an Usul who gossips,
Words won't stop spilling from her lips,
This Usul-in-waiting works in Meridell Castle.

Our last unusual Usul
is a Master of dark and light.
The guardian of spectral magic,
Wields dual powers against enemies.
(You don’t want to get on their bad side.)

That wraps it up!
We hope you enjoyed
This small display
Of a select group of unusual Usuls.

Happy Usul Day!

The Shadow Usul
by myncithemonkey

Lurker of the night,
Quiet among shadows,
Hidden out of sight,
Where? Nobody knows.

Entrenched in evil,
Full of dark powers,
Source of upheaval,
In the midnight hours.

Wandering the land,
Searching his next prey,
No moment is bland,
When causing dismay.

Beware his presence,
And cold-hearted soul,
A force of menace,
The Shadow Usul.

Usul Day Celebrations
by _interrupted_

Today we all celebrate, 
These lovable special creatures. 
The Usul’s are amazing, 
And have adorable fluffy features. 

Two flossy ears. 
Standing on top of their head. 
Gently tied with a ribbon, 
So they do not flop around when they tread. 

A scarf of fur, 
To keep them warm. 
To bury into and snuggle, 
And to take shield from the snowstorm. 

A lovely long tail, 
Perfect for a snazzy bow. 
The Usul’s love to look stylish, 
This is their species vow. 

So thank you to the Usul’s. 
For being our favourite pet, 
This will be the best celebration,  
One we could never possibly forget. 

Happy Usul Day!

A Celebration of the Usuls
by platinum_marauder

Fluffy long ears and a tail to match,
Onto these ribbons they do attach,
With their fond love of grooming,
you may think them vain,
But wrong you will be proven,
If their friendship you can attain.

Atop the splendid trees they reside,
Helping friends and family with pride,
At touch of winter they come down,
And head to the ski fields so white,
Racing through the snow, wind in their fur,
And a smile on their face from such delight.

The notable Usuls stand high in number,
Hannah so brave, the treasure hunter, 
Gilly does wander, curiosity high,
While Uzarro goes raid a dark bank vault,
Garin he sails on the Black Pawkeet,
Vyssa the princess, she the people exalt.

And so we can see how majestic and kind,
The Usul are, 
They'll always have a special place in our mind!

The Usul and her skis
by orlytheowl

The Usul Celine had trained every day
Mostly just work and hardly no play
She really wanted to be number one
And to be beaten by neither and none

The Ski Championship was starting today
She didn't want to perform just okay
So she strapped on her skiis and ran downhill
Who would win was the greatest thrill

Celine ran fast and the crowd flew by
All she could see was snow and the sky
She was afraid that she would maybe fall
She hadn't trained her balance at all

But Celine managed to stay on her feet
The opponents realised that they were all beat
By the Usul that at once got a name and fame
Once Celine to the podium came

Haikus for Hannah the Usul
by secant

Danger and triumph
Are mere synonyms for this
Unusual Usul.

She travels the land,
From ice caves to pirate ships.
What a daredevil!

Aboard the spaceship
She travels to Kreludor,
Completes the mission.

Kanrik follows her,
Another thief in disguise;
Hannah's his favorite.

Bushy tail and flair
Along with good hair, she's the
Ideal role model.

Cloud Usul Ice Lolly: A Lovable Treat
by _brainchild_

Cloud Usul Lolly is such a delight!
Spectacular during the day or the night,
It surely enthralls all the tongues that it meets.
You'll be super happy with this awesome treat.

The flavors impress; there's a duo of tastes.
Not eating this yummy dessert is a waste!
From coconut white to sweet blueberry sky,
It's completely absurd to just pass this one by.

The sculpture is cute, and amazingly grand!
The most attractive Usul in Neopian land
Shall appear on the lolly. Adorable glam
Is what she depicts like no other one can.

My friend, if the rare opportunity strikes,
You should try this treat---its sweet flavors you'll like!
You'll just want to sing, so my pal, don't delay---
Try it as soon as possible, maybe today.

The Neopian Petpet Shopkeeper
by martia_elior

If you happen to stroll in Neopia Central,
And you’d really love a petpet to cuddle, 
You can find the perfect shop for your need;
The shopkeeper isn’t even affected by greed!

She’s a lovely, sweet Usul, with a huge flower
On her head, and her neck ringed by green fur.
With a gentle voice she invites you in her shop
She can assure you: none of her petpets is a flop.

She takes care of the creatures she has for sale,
From Kadoatie and Noil, to Warf and Snorkle.
Every petpet looks healthy, bloated, and happy,
If you ask her, she’ll say that patience is the key.

She wants to know her customers a little, to suggest
which one, among her petpets, would fit the best.
Matching owner and petpet is not always easy,
But she does her job with sensitivity and glee.

So, don’t be shy and answer her questions,
She will give you a few, accurate options!
She will also help you with any caring advice
As clicking with your new friend has no price!

Start of Ski Season
by trubiekatie

On your mark… get set… GO!
Yells the convener at the mountain top.
A flock of Usuls darting through the snow;
There’s Neopia Central; a distant backdrop.

Fans are cheering wildly, with all their might,
Supporting their favourite Usul skier.
Bounding down the hill fast as light,
The Usuls are quick, and without any fear.

Every year, this is a fan favourite race,
Held on what is also known as Usul Day.
It’s a thrilling event if you like to chase,
Or watch at the side for the snow spray.

When the race finally does end,
The famed winner assumes their crown.
The after-party is an event to attend,
Held in a quaint Terror Mountain town.

First, let’s grab a chilled slushie to try,
Then lace up and go for a quick skate.
While this event is done, it’s not goodbye -
For next year’s race, save the same date!

An Usul's Ribbon
by hamtaro_luver11

Excitement builds among the Usuls,
A time to go and ski!
An Usul in particular,
Was as happy as can be.

"I'm going to make the biggest jump!"
She exclaimed with delight,
Heading up the mountain,
Without fear or fright.

But after a wrong turn, 
She found herself in trouble,
Crashing into a baby tree,
Among some snowy rubble.

"Ow! My leg!" She let out a cry.
Putting her head in her hands, 
She felt no hope to be rescued,
As the other skiiers went by.

Suddenly, she felt a bandage,
And let out a little yelp! 
Looking up, she saw another Usul,
Using their tail ribbon to help!

"Don't worry, you'll be ok!
Ribbons are for more than looking nice!
Rest up well and in no time, 
You'll be back up on the ice!"

"But what about your skiing?"
Asked the Usul, taking her paw.
The helper Usul smiled and said:
"Helping out is more rewarding,
Than any high score."

The Usuls made their way back up the mountain,
Arm in arm together,
No matter what, on Usul day...

Friendship lasts forever!

Usul Beatnik Outfit
by indulgences

She quietly observes the scene.
Her eyes are twinkling bright.
She opens her small notebook, and
Begins to write and write.

Her head is graced with a Beret
That’s hued a navy blue.
It houses her small forehead, and
A mind that’s keen and true.

Her Outfit is a turtleneck
That’s darkest blue, and knit.
It’s paired with olive trousers that
Are spattered with black ink.

The Glasses perched upon her nose
Are delicate and small.
She peers through them while scribbling down
Her poems, quite enthralled.

The Sandals worn upon her feet
Are leather, suede and brown.
She’s quite the traveling poetess,
The coolest chick around!

And finally, her Poetry book
Is filled with all her rhymes.
Each word is chosen carefully.
Each poem is sublime!

The Usul Beatnik Outfit is
An awesome, lovely look!
A moody, clever, brainy thing,
Paired with an ink-stained book!

Usul, Usul
by terukiyo

Two shopkeepers in Neo Central
Pass each other at lunch in the streets,
One who smells of various florals,
One with pockets full of Bowla treats.

"Is that Doglefox hair on your dress?
Asks Red Usul of Grooming Parlour,
As she smooths aside a golden tress
And curves lips a flattering colour.

The Petpet Shop's Green Usul, her foe,
Dons a pure Angelpuss smile -- a trap.
"It might be! My little friends would know."
Behind her the petpets bark, hiss, snap!

By the Bank bicker the two Usuls
'Til a third wedges herself 'tween them.
"Quit fight ugg," says cardplaying Uggsul.
"Don't ugg see what ugg have in common?"

Both the shopkeeping Usuls turn pale,
Knowing one of them styles Uggsul's hair
While the other sold her the Wardel
That sits eyeing the arguing pair.

For aren't they both experts at grooming,
Whether personal or for petpets?
And isn't the mutual goal looming
To make Neopians feel their best?

Now the two bushy-tailed pets make peace
And jokes about serving Uzarro--
One'd sell her a petpet accomplice,
One'd offer concealing eyeshadow!

My Royal Usul
by true_solarsenshi

She was created a long time ago,
Painted like royalty and so,
Her personality shines even now,
The powder in her wigs make you go "wow!". 

She collects no Usukis, Quigukis or anything,
Finds working hard for NeoPoints tiring,
Not only that, she keeps a Snorkle for a pet,
That it eats all her food, she hasn't realized yet.

Because she is royalty - she gets what she desires,
Whether it be jewelry, dresses, wigs, or lyres,
Banquets and banquet halls, whatever indeed,
Her life is to be spoiled by me, head to feet.

My dear Royal Usul, your charm won't go away,
You're so cute when you lounge in the foyer,
To a pastry, you won't say "nay",
My royal Usul, Mafay.

Usul Day
by she_chose_love

Usul day has arrived at last,
days without skiing are a thing of the past!

Grab your coat and mittens too,
there is tons of skiing to do!

Usul day is a time of cheer,
as it is the first day of Usul Skiing season each year!

All of Neopia will be busy joining in on the fun, 
until this wonderful day is done.

There are new Usul themed items being released too,
Like books, food and wearables in various shades of blue.

New Usul colors will be announced once the skiing is done,
I heard a rumor that there will be more than one.

So grab a hot cup of borovan to sip,
because this is one event you will not want to skip!


Happy Usul Day!

One-Stop Usul Ski Shop
by l0000000l

The month of Storing's end is near,
Naturally it is that time of year,
Chillingly the one that most Neopets fear,
Winter is coming so put on your gear. 

Off to the distance lights begin to flicker,
Harbored warm at home two friends begin to bicker,
"Setting up shop in this weather? Must be a trickster!" 
Alas, the groomed figure still trudges on quicker.

Scurrying along in near Usuki Doll glory,
Typical of every Usul story,
Instead of heading off to the Perfectly Flat Rock Quarry,
Usul's brave the cold weather eager to share their inventory.  

Despite what most like to think,
Usul's are more than pretty in pink,
These loyal creatures will share in a blink,
Even faster than those at the musical ice rink. 

With skiing lessons, gear, and even a cafe,
Round up your layers and board the Happy Valley sleigh,
Make your way to the Usul's shop and do as you may,
But please remember to have a Happy Usul Day.

Gilly the Usul - a Campfire Tale
by kiwigoddesskimmie

Come sit and hear the tale
of Neovia, and we'll unveil
the path of a young usul named Gilly
she escaped an evil castle
and despite such a hassle
she wandered the woods willy-nilly

Gilly thought she saw a lamp
but it was a fire in a camp
full of gypsies who offered her shelter
she sat upon some hay
and her fear melted away
just as she began to swelter

"I'll tell you a good story
it's eerie, not gory"
offered the kind gypsy elephante
"of an old town of kind folk
of which no one has spoke
since its untimely, horrific descent"

Gilly told him to go on
and his yellow eyes shone
"a teenaged gelert who fell for a lady
he wished to deserve her
but he had an observer
who granted wishes, although he was shady"

Gilly's eyes grew wide
"is it true?" she cried
"Patience, my dear, and you'll know
so Krawley the krawk
approaches Bruno to talk
and pulls out a potion aglow

In one quick motion
Bruno downed the potion
and woke up the man of his dreams
his family gave it a go
only his sister said no
and suddenly it came apart at the seams

The potion spread
followed by dread
as the townspeople became distorted
into horrific mutants
from the potion's pollutants
with no time to think to thwart it

Being the only unforsaken
his sister was taken
and given to an earth faerie Ilere
from my recollection
she offered her protection
and rumour has it she resides close to here"

"What happened next?"
asked Gilly, perplexed
"what happened to the rest of the town?"
"we'll leave it for here
I'll tell you more, dear
but for now, it's time to lie down

I'll leave you to sleep
don't think too deep
perhaps it will become a tale of glory
that's enough for tonight"
his yellow eyes shone bright
"remember, kid, it is just a story..."
