An Exciting New Neopia
by orlytheowl

An exciting new era is on the brink
A new era where we like to dream, hope and think
Neopia is a land we Neopians cherish and love
Our pets, the games, the lore, all of the above

What will happen with the world we call home?
Will fixes be made to the Battledome?
Or will the new era be focused on new plots and old games?
And make old frustrations go up in flames.

A new reign can make some feel anxious too
We know what we got, and we know what to do
Neopians like me don't know what to expect
But that it will be an improvement I do strongly suspect

The news of the new era comes like a breath of fresh air
This is an opportunity to show Neopia some love and care
Neopians around the world are summoned to give their two cents
About bugs, improvements and future events.

Neopians, gather and show your support
Old disappointments and grudges we must abort
With a new era comes a unique new chance
To all sides of the life of Neopia to advance.

Koi Warrior
by gonesse

Oh Toi Koi Warrior, maitre des codestones gratuits
J'attends chaque jour notre rencontre
Dans la mer calme, dans la mer déchainée
sur le champ de bataille te rencontrer.

Au petit jour ou dans l'ombre de la nuit
J'attends chaque jour ton contre
Malgré mon armure fortifiée
Quelques HPs te sacrifier.

Ce combat durera t'il jusqu'a l'infini ?
J'en perds le fil, j'en perds le compte.
Frapper, parer, recommencer
et les coups dans le vide a éviter.

Un coup d'oreiller et me voila endormie
Mes paupières lourdes il faut que je surmonte
si le combat, je veux remporter
et mon compte en banque renflouer.

Quoi l'escarmouche serait donc finie ?
A demain pour que de nouveau je t'affronte
Dans la joie et la fraternité.
Enfin seulement si la victoire j'ai gagné.

A Grey Faerie of Grace
by yxndere

Tall on a rain soaked cloud lay a face, with teardrops of silver that could fill up a vase. 
Though her wings couldn't fly, she didn't bother to try, and she felt it would just be a waste.
 
All alone in her storming home, her beating heart was slowly turning to stone. Whenever the sun tried to peak through the sky she would bury her head down and whisper a sigh.

One night as she slept wrapped in her despair, she felt a warm breeze pass through her hair. Her wet eyes opened wide and she looked all about, when she noticed a glimmer and let out a shout. 

The warm glow engulfed her leaping into her heart, her room shook around and her bed fell apart. As soon as it started it came to an end, the light flew out the window and far off it went.

The Grey girl felt strange and put her hand on her chest, she thought maybe she was dreaming or not thinking the best. If her heart was stone how could it race? Why are the tears now drying from her face? 

That night her broken wings spread apart from her back, they lifted her high and she never looked back. Whatever that light was that disappeared with no trace, it left her a blessing, the feeling of grace.

Les pommes de Neopia
by petitehirondelline

Les pommes Neopiennes ont diverses formes,
Elles sont loin d'être uniformes.
Lorsqu'on se rend à l'épicerie,
On est toujours un peu étourdis.

Certaines sont bien charnues,
D'autres sont toutes menues.
On croquera les plus délicieuses,
Et on fera du jus avec les plus juteuses.

Il y a une telle diversité,
En bonbon ou en gelée,
Tranchées ou entières,
Carrées ou triangulaires.

Il y en a pour tous les goûts,
Les invités seront comblés à tous coups.
Servez-les froides ou rôties,
En smoothie ou pâtisseries.

En collation pendant la journée,
Ou au pique-nique dans un panier.
Accompagnées de caramel ou de chocolat,
Elles terminent bien tous les repas.

Pour les aventuriers gastronomiques,
Il existe un choix astronomique
De différentes saveurs et d'exquis parfums
Qui conviendront à tout un chacun.

Certains objets pommes sont carrément étranges,
Telle la Pomme imposteur qui est en fait une orange,
Ou comme le Pterducken ou le Blopple.
On est loin du traditionnel crumble!

Pour les intectuels, il y a une sélection
De livres qui invitent à la réflexion.
L'Art de Pêcher des Pommes Flottantes
Est une édition vraiment captivante!

Pour un conte de fées dramatique,
Procurez-vous le roman Le Pommier Magique.
Quatre Milliard de Recettes de Tartes regorge de gâteries
Offrez-le à votre mère, elle en sera ravie! 

Certains peuvent même flanquer une raclée
À vos adversaires les plus acharnés.
Suffit d'une Trancheuse de Pomme Obscure,
Ce sera pour votre adversaire une vraie torture!

Lors de votre prochaine visite au Battledome,
Apportez un Gourdin en Gelée de Pomme
Ou encore une Pomme de Cristal Éternelle
Pour vous rendre soudainement immortel!

Mais veuillez faire très attention
À ne pas croquer certaines versions
Par exemple, le Chia Pomme sera offusqué
Si vous tentez de le dévorer!

Prudence avec la Pomme Explosive de Nimmo,
Elle pourrait vous désintégrer en milles morceaux!
Et méfiez-vous de la Pomme Mort-Vivante,
Elle est plutôt dégoûtante!

Edna's Tower
by potatotheory

Just within the Haunted Woods where no Neopet dares to go,
Is a powerful witch waiting to make her potion whole.
Her spells are iffy and her cauldron far too hot,
But if you dare, you’ll find a place in her plot.

Sturdy walls made of brick,
The air thick with flies,
Green-tipped horns,
Glowing green eyes,
If you look too closely
You’ll sense someone’s demise.

Step inside, get ready for your fate,
And make sure to return before it’s too late.
It’s true that around noon Edna may leave for an hour, 
So watch the clock closely, so your prize doesn’t sour.

Find what she seeks quickly, and you’ll earn a great prize;
Should you happen to fail your mission, you best hide for a while. 
You may have been told by someone wise that Edna only works alone,
But Esophagor and the Brain Tree will often team up to grant a special tome.

If you decide to take on this perilous quest, just know your Neofriends wish you the best.

The Cherry Blossom Mystery Capsule: Fun Floral Finds
by _brainchild_

This capsule certainly delights!
No finer item is in sight.
Some floral wearables enthral---
They surely are the best of all.

A Draik, surrounded by pink blooms,
Will give you clothes to fill the room
With stares from dazzled onlookers
Who will be quite impressed, for sure!

Kimonos of two hues are grand,
The finest ones in all the land.
A precious parasol protects
From sun and rain---you won't be wrecked.

So, if you seek some wearables
Of floral charm, ones never dull,
Then buy a cap today and see
What you receive. You'll feel some glee.

Ode to Random Events
by maculose

You’re sitting down and surfing the net.
You log in to Neopets for excitement you bet.
Your pets are hungry and need some food,
So they can get in a really good mood.

You get some omelettes and some jellies.
Your pets get happy as they fill their bellies.
Now that they’re fed, they need some fun,
So you decide to take them for a virtual run.

Now that’s done, there’s one thing to do.
They need to relax and get a nice groom.
You click on the Bazaar and are ready to go.
But something happens that interrupts the flow.

You look up as a chill runs up your spine.
You are very unsure what you’re about to find.
Jacko the Phantom appears in a rush,
As he quickly gives you a random paint brush!

This random event just made your whole day.
You try to hold back but have to yell YAY!
No wonder it’s large, the Neopets fandom.
Hooray for these events that are so random!

An Ode to Zenor Kevix
by niddyz

What do you do with a name like Zenor?
There’s stories, but no poetry’s been, or
A cool tune that successfully does it—
Working with those syllables surely is a puzzle.

Is that why he retired? To seek unusual fame
Not as a Slurpship sipper or that old Yooyu game,
But as some wordsmith in a Time Tunnel,
Urging players their creativity to funnel?

The trouble with a poem to such a Grundo
Is that no words can contain him, not even a hundo
Per line could do justice to his shots on goal
Even if, now, his career’s suddenly on hold.

It’s not that Motor’s a bad replacement at all—
Though maybe we wonder how he got so tall?—
Just that edge that for Zenor, he eluded, or
Pulled back just before victory for Team Kreludor.

Sometimes, the world moves on without you.
You can be sad or celebrate. Each Yooyu
You see, like you and me, one day will retire.
So we write of their deeds, like Zenor’s, that inspire.

OK, maybe not the irresponsible sunburn bit—
Protect yourselves, this isn’t a bit!—
But he was strong and smart and a little bit
Scary—his speed making you feel 8-Bit.

So this is, after all, a poem to dear Zenor:
Team Kreludor remembers and misses you.
For all of us, indeed, the lesson’s sure:
You’re surely more than just the Yooyu.

The Waitress at Kelp
by swordlilly

In Maraqua where the corals sway
And JubJubs in bubbles merrily play,
A Goldy dances before a shell shop,
Behind which glimmers the next tourist stop.

Inside this pearly place called Kelp,
The Uni waitress sails forth to help.
"What may I get for you today?" she asks,
Smiling and bobbing as she does her tasks.

Neatly adorned in black and white,
Her horn polished till it sparkles bright,
Her lovely mane smoothed back from her face,
The Uni moves with speed and grace.

She knows the menu inside and out,
And can offer suggestions when you're in doubt.
But when the restaurant closes at nine,
And she's done cleaning the last plate fine...

Her gaze shifts up to the dates on the wall,
And she fills in another box with a scrawl.
Another day of work is over and done.
Another small sum of Neopoints won.

One day, away from where the corals sway,
And JubJubs in bubbles merrily play,
This seemingly smiling young Uni will go,
And another will come to run the show.

Dyeworks: Rainbow Shimmer Body Paint
by matchagarden

Glitter and gold, glitter and gold, 
What a thing to see, what a sight to behold! 

On fur and scale, 
Hair and hide, 
Not an inch is left unglitter-fied!

What will you get? What will you choose? 
Sunset, Feverish and New? 
Perhaps Pastel is more to your taste, 
O! But what fun Galaxy is, I suggest you make haste! 

Frantic Neopians, aflutter with glee, 
Heading to the Dyeworks counter, skipping their tea. 

What joy, what taste, this glitter can be! 
It feels as if it were made for your Ixi, whose wings are Faerie. 
Or perhaps your Gelert, so pretty in Pink, 
Pastel Glitter would make her day, I should think. 

Glitter and gold, glitter and gold, 
Off we go, for I am more than sold!

Chemistry 101
by themassacres

Have you heard of the mad scientist in a very scary lab?
There he has chemistry sets, you know you’ll want to grab!
He bonds together atoms to create molecules.
His creations always shine like Nabile's jewels.

Chemistry is not easy for everyone,
But surely these flasks will bring you lots of fun!
The Ixi Chemist will teach you what you need to know.
Hopefully, there are no missteps that set the place aglow.

You have made the Chemist very proud,
Because you avoided creating an unstable compound!
Now that you have your chemistry foundation,
You earned yourself a nice vacation.

Excitement runs through you as you leave the Haunted Woods.
The Chemist bids you farewell and sends you home with some goods.
You rush home to share your chemistry set with the neighbourhood.
Ethel Boortz welcomes you with cookies, just as you knew she would!

Eliv Thade
by theguy2020

Wandering around a spooky place,
His old castle is his humble space,
Solving puzzles is what he used to do for fun,
Now he haunts his castle before the day is done!

Once challenging everyone to make a puzzle he can't figure out,
Finishing them with ease made him gain some clout,
Few can truly consider themselves this bright,
If you go to his castle now your mind will have to fight!

His ghost will make you solve numerous puzzles and questions,
Proceeding with caution is a good suggestion,
It has been known that only one person has escaped the castle,
Young Gilly the Usul who said it was quite the hassle!

Before you visit make sure you are prepared,
The ghost of Eliv Thade may have you quite scared,
Bring a friend to have a better chance,
If you work together you can solve the puzzles with a glance!

Unstable Compounds
by skeletonic

There is an Ixi in the Haunted Woods 
Who fancies himself an esteemed chemist. 
He has synthesized many compounds
Studying molecular chemistry is relished! 

He studies Neopia’s periodic table of elements:
Neopium, Tyrannium, Slothite; 
He works day and night in the lab 
Combining Faeryllium and Krawkite! 

He knows of the diatomics: 
Like Neopium and Krawkite gas. 
He knows the liquids at room temperature: 
Like Tyrannium Neopide, stored in glass! 

For the Ixi Chemist, though,
There is one thing that strikes a chord. 
The word “unstable” can only be followed by
”Compound,” or else he will roar! 

”Ignoramus!” is his favourite insult.
He really loves to throw it around. 
But, unstable compounds are just that: unstable. 
Be careful, or a runaway reaction will combust the town!

Reysuo the Mutant Hissi
by gumgum101230

Do you want to meet some Hissies
On this fine summer day?
I'm Suo the Mutant Hissi,
With my conjoined twin, Rey! 

Though we appear as just one 'pet,
Joined by our single tail,
We have distinct talents and dreams
Which come to our avail. 

Though Rey's goal is to read more books
When all other 'Pets play,
Mine instead is to eat rare foods
To become the top Gourmet. 

Even when we do work at the
Employment Agency,
Rey searches on the Shop Wizard
While I take jobs quickly. 

Through teamwork, training, and grit, we
Have fighting skills in spades;
We expertly defeat each foe
With our Twin Faerie Blades. 

When we go to fancy parties
After Battledome spats,
We always choose to dress in our
Matching Mutant Top Hats. 

Finally, I'll share a secret
I'm scared to say out loud:
With Mutant Hissies, you can have
More 'Pets than you're allowed!

A Flotsam Pool Party
by kellyclark1115

Splish! Splash! Splish! Splash!
What was that?
A Flotsam at a pool party,
where are you at?

Of course, we have to celebrate,
a pool party is needed!
It's tradition now,
after many Flotsams pleaded.

Long ago, they wanted something special,
and the ruler of Neopia decreed,
we would have an annual party,
and everyone agreed.

So here we are today,
did you bring any snacks?
I brought a Pineapple Breeze,
it will help me relax.

We'll probably play later,
someone has a beach ball.
They play every year,
if I correctly recall.

But for now let's jump
into the cool, cool water.
If you are feeling hungry,
they have food so don't bother.

Flotsams finish the day with food,
always an amazing barbecue!
I know I'll go back for seconds,
I think you will too!

A Hot Summer's Slushie
by cpssgh1004

Altador on a hot summer's day,
With rays of sun beating down on you.
In search of a cool mist to spray,
You stumble upon a rather large queue.

What could it be for?
What is worth waiting for in this blistering heat?
Such a long line going out the door.
You patiently wait until you can grab a seat.

Next, you're greeted by none other than Cheryl Shelly.
The famous Tuskaninny who slings a cool treat.
Embarrassed you might be a little sweaty and smelly,
But excitedly you order a slushie so sweet.

They all sound so good but which flavour to pick?
Splime sounds tasty as does Currant or Berry Blend.
You'd order them all if it didn't make you so sick!
Berry is your choice you decide in the end.

Cheyrl zips off to fetch your drink,
Pulling the lever, she doesn't miss a beat.
She hands you a slushie before you can even blink,
And to beat the heat you enjoy your sweet little treat!

Altador Cup Aftermath
by i_lovee_icecream

When the Altador Cup is over,
With no slushies left to sling. 
What is there to do?
The blues, we sing.

The Techo Fanatic retires,
Until next year. 
His voice lost for now,
We just shed a tear. 

The Altador Cup aftermath,
Is an emptiness that rings.
The Altador Cuo aftermath,
Is a pain that stings. 

Yooyus take a break;
Faerie, Mutant, and Darigan.
I can’t wait for Yooyuball,
To be back once again. 

Shootout Showdown,
Its net tucked away.
No goalie to be seen,
No games left to play. 

The Altador Cup aftermath,
Is an emptiness that rings.
The Altador Cuo aftermath,
Is a pain that stings.

Nekuks, the Toy Grundo
by demodx

He is my son,
He is the sun.
He is my world,
Love unfurled.

Nekuks,
The space oddity.
A Toy Grundo,
A true commodity.

He was born,
Out of a quest.
His cuteness,
I behest.

Rainbow Fountain,
Dipped in Toy.
He’s our sweet,
And special boy.

Made with love,
Made with care.
He’s got a jovial,
And playful air.

Bouncing around,
Through Kreludor,
He’s the one,
That we adore.
