The Mysterious Symol Hole
by kadzzooks

Across the plains of Meridell,
Far beyond the castle gates
Beside the gnarled, elder tree
A mysterious hole awaits

An opening so small and round

Where only Petpets fit

The tunnels twist and wind below

The depth seems infinite

The bravest Petpets dive head first

Their eyes gleaming with cheer

Timid ones peak over the edge,

Gaining strength to face their fears

Some crawl in with careful steps
And inch their way below

While others leap in: “Cannonball!”

To see how far they’ll go

Hums begin beneath the earth,

Soft laughter fills the ground

As dirt and fun and secrets stir,

Shining light follows the sound

And when the Petpets climb back up

With treasure, trinkets, or grime

They shake the dust, wipe off the mud

Eager to do it again next time!

The Zombie Symol
by sportyangel3338

As this Zombie Symol rises from the dead
The rest of Neopia has feelings of dread
He wants to steal your Petpets as a souvenir
With the Festival of Fears being finally here

Even though he may lack a brain
It doesn’t make him any less sane
His plans for trick are incredibly thorough
By luring Petpets into their burrow

So beware of this Symol Zombie
Get too close and he may embalm thee
Keep your Petpet away from his hole
So he doesn't steal their soul and swallow them whole

This Zombie Symol has issued his threat
Keep an eye out for its shadowy silhouette
So if you dare, venture into the dirt
And hope your Petpet comes back unhurt

Afternoon with a Symol
by bittersweet52

Just underground, digging his hole
You'll often find, the little Symol
He's friendly to all and surprisingly wise
Behind his sharp pointed nose and little eyes

They love all things dirt, tunnellers they are
For burrows they earn their shiny gold star
They also make a mean cup of tea
So go on and come on a visit with me

It's cozy down here, with walls on all sides
Plenty of places for a Petpet to hide
The walls are also wriggling with little p-threes
Especially Wormoebas and little Blechies

Symols love snackies, so please bring a treat
Then settle yourself into a comfy seat
We'll pour the tea and have a fun chat
How do you like the sound of that?

Rainy Day: Dirt Symol
by profebest

Meridell was extremely rainy today,
Beautiful rain, Brain Tree fall-away.
Covered clouds, sunny, beautiful day.
It rains on the umbrellas before May.

Symol Hole is covered with golden dirt,
Raining during the day, it's a Symol's birth.
We can't enter this place, we would get dirty!
Oh, I'm so lucky it wasn't raining Mortogs!

Zebie Petpets running around this battlefield,
While dodging Turmac when the celebration is held.
Balthazar is probably playing Extreme Herder game.
It's been a long day, the rain has turned silver.

The silver that shines on every rain drop.
While yellow butterflies lift silken wings.
The Mysterious Symol Hole it's still unreachable.
I might have to burrow with all this dirt.

"Oh, why is this place so dirty!?"
Once I enter, there's no way back!
I've successfully entered this hole,
Just to end as exclusive Dirt Symol.

Happy Symol Day!

Symol's Ode to Digging
by chai7705

Digging, digging, digging a hole
The way of life for a Symol!
Good for the heart and for the soul
Even without intent or an end goal

Dig when sad -- just let it out
(The Symol tunnels could use more routes!)
Breathe deep the earth with your long snout
And carve away all your fears and doubts

Or when you're mad and want to scream
No better way to let off steam
Than clawing through all reams and reams
Of dirt and rock -- oh what a dream!

Symols will even dig to work
With determined mind and face a-smirk
Meri Acres Farm knows that it's a perk
And lets a farmhand to his duties shirk

But top and most importantly
Symols dig when they're happy!
Through and under hills all craggy
They'll dig on through all quick and snappy

Whether they're already feeling grey
Or in a mood that's more "hurray"
Symols will find any possible way
To dig, dig, dig a hole all day!

My pet’s friend the Symol
by elipsis4k

I bring my furry friend
To Meridell each day.
He wags his little tail
And swan dives away!
While I sit and wait
On grassy stoop
For my loyal pet’s assent,
I swear I hear him singing
A tunneller's duet!
A Symol and a Magmut
Must make fast friends indeed. 
I hear the earth a turning
And a happy melody.
Though one’s from far Moltara
The other a local friend,
They both love to excavate
Until their tunnel’s end. 
Now here my pet comes
Humming up the hole
And when he’s cleared the surface,
I swear I see the Symol
Waving a fond farewell
Until we meet tomorrow!

Meridell's celebration
by thomaswilliams123

Symol day is finally here!
Head to Meridell and you'll find it there.
A hole in the ground only Petpets fit in.
Select a way to enter and begin! 

The Petpet goes in and may find a prize.
Mostly though, you won't win a dime.
Only 4 minutes a day is the winning time
Nobody knows what time is right. 

So many prizes to win. Maybe some Neopoints, maybe a book.
Some of the prizes even made of dirt!
A Symol T-shirt or maybe a bone.
This daily your Petpet faces alone. 

If your lucky when your Petpet plays
You can win an avatar someday!
So cross your fingers and wish your Petpet luck!
It goes in the Symol hole running amok!

If You See a Symol
by kailey_kitty1995

There's a tale they tell on Symol Day,
Though it's just a myth some will say,
A farmer in Meridell one day found,
A Symol in his field digging around,

His crops were broken and bent,
Days of toil and trouble he'd spent,
But that Symol the farmer didn't shoo,
He lifted a shovel and began to dig too,

Neighbors flocked to see why he'd do that,
They all thought him dull as a Barbat,
Hour after hour with nothing got,
Even his wife thought he'd lost he plot,

But then under the glow of the moon,
That night his shovel struck the tune, 
Of gold and silver, metals galore,
He wouldn't need to toil anymore,

It's said Symols love a shiny trinket,
Deep beneath the earth they sink it,
So if you see one follow it quick,
and of riches you'll have your pick.

Elderly Symol Retirement Home
by mooseydoom101

The Symol tunnels go for miles and miles
Digging under Meridell makes them smile
But what happens to Symols that grow old?
The elders don't get left in the cold!

Symols dig big cozy rooms near the top
For those with creaky joins to have a stop
Elderly Symols with glasses so thick
Can reach these chambers near the surface quick!

The Symol Retirement home is swell
With thick warm rugs on the dirt to dwell
Symol sized armchairs for them to sit down
And close proximity to Symol town

Young Symols will often volunteer here
To help out their elders and spread some cheer
Playing Symol bingo or Symol cards
Leading exercise in the Symol yard

Symols of all ages love dirt a lot
So dirt is brought in to round out the spot
This dirt brings the Elderly Symols joy
And stops them from making the walls their toy

Symol Retirement home is cozy!
The best place for elders to get dozy!

Inside the Symol Hole
by theguy2020

Do you have a curious mind?
Always eager for new things to find?
Down the hole is a mystery, 
Make sure you leave your mark on history!

A small opening that you can enter, 
After a few trips you'll have enough knowledge to be a mentor, 
Curious minds of the future will look up to you, 
But first you'll have to see it through.

Once inside you'll start searching hard,
In the area known as Meridell's yard,
There are gems and artifacts to be found, 
Who knows what may be underground?

Will you be alone in the Symol hole?
Discovering something new is the goal, 
However that is something only time will tell,
You may meet a friend who is really swell.

If you meet a Symol while you're inside,
Be gentle and kind so they don't have to hide,
After all you're the guest in their home,
If treated with respect they'll continue to let us roam!

Dig Down, Dig Deep
by birdinggal

Dig down, dig deep – the Symol Hole explore,
And see what your petpet perhaps might score.

Dig down, dig deep – who knows what you might find?
A book or food could be what you just mined.

Dig down, dig deep – a level you could gain.
Or weapons for a fight you might attain.

Dig down, dig deep – and find something to wear.
Or even find a brand-new toy to share.

Dig down, dig deep – and your hone decorate.
Plus garden, too, you now can recreate.

Dig down, dig deep – and find an avatar.
Or get some money for your savings jar.

Dig down, dig deep – what else might you now find?
Most likely, naught, no matter how you grind.

The many talents of Symols.
by esperteza

All over Meridell you can see
Deep holes that lead underground
A work of Symols it must be
Subterranean tunnels and mazes abound.

These small creatures have been blessed
With sharp claws perfect to dig
Passages impossible to access
And shelters to store many treasures - small or big!

Not even King Skarl seems to know what lies below
Symols are highly secretive, much of their world remains unseen
However, a rumour surfaced not long ago:
A Symol scientist had built a time machine!

In battle, Symols are extremely useful
With hidden traps they can neutralize foes
Their role in resisting Kass’s troops was crucial
An essential ally for the kingdom, as Skarl well knows.

The Symol's Visitors
by qlobal

Good morning to the little Symol!
Who made a home out of a dirt hole.
He found himself cozy in good old Meridell.
He dug a tunnel and fit in quite well.

With a curious nose ready to explore,
He snuffled the soil and burrowed some more.
He planted some flowers and they began to bloom.
And he grew some more, there’s always room.

In the middle of the day, Petpets come by.
They jump right in, they’re never shy.
The Symol laughs and waves them in,
There’s room for everyone in this hole within.

A Doglefox closes his eyes and dives straight down,
The Meepit slowly climbs in and looks around.
The Symol hates when they cannonball in,
Leaving him to clean the mess, where does he begin?

Strangers will call the Symol’s hole mysterious,
But that’s just because they’ve always been curious.
Visit the Symol when he’s in a good mood,
He might share a small tin of his favourite food!
