What Avatar Expresses Your Personality?
by sierrasiobhan

What makes you unique
How do you stand out
In community online
What identity do you tout

When chatting on the Boards
How will people get to know you
Express yourself through font
With a fun avatar too

So many avatars to collect
Its become quite the game
Try to earn them all
And garner extraordinary fame

Your avatar can show
Just what you enjoy
Games or stamps or characters
Or your favourite toy

Avvies are not easy
To come by every day
Pride yourself in earning them
Curate persona as you play

Armin in the Ice Caves
by maddie_bangz

Hannah’s beloved Bori friend
Is ready for a new adventure through
The chilling Ice Caves in Terror Mountain
Together there’s nothing this duo can’t do

Armin’s got his slingshot at the ready
And will defend Hannah as they travel
Through the caves and face their foes
Watching their enemies’ plans unravel

He’ll keep an eye out for dynamite
And alert at any loose arrows flying
No matter how tough their situation
He’ll never resort to giving up and crying

The Snowbeasts and the Icy Skeletons
Will seem so intimidating to most
But Armin and Hannah together will fight
And nothing can stop them, not even a ghost!

Ye Olde Petpets
by bbydoll_

O'er yonder, where the berries grow and the cheeses roll,
Sits a quaint lil barn brimming with laughter and love.
The Crokabeks crow as the Symols dig in their hole,
There's nothing more Nanci the Ixi could dream of.

The Whinnies neigh, while a Zebie bleats playfully.
Dragoyles swoop past Karrens, hanging from rafters above.
In the meadow nearby, lay the Gallions quite restlessly.
While Manjeer stands guard, a job he's quite proud of.

Watch your step! As a Seece scurries between your feet,
Past the Drackonacks munching on some Big Beefy Cheese.
Roll some Turmacs against the rollers elite.
Bless U-kali! That was quite the big sneeze.

Have you ever kissed a mortog? Was it a bust or a royal?
Don't fancy being slimed? Kiss a Spyven instead!
Play Bullseye with the Turtums, known as Petpets most loyal.
SQUAWK! Beware Wibreth's claws, as your hands may turn red.

Ganuthor stands like a statue, as Cyodrakes set up a brigade.
Best buds Caprior and Albat go together like a hand and a glove.
Tralbaks hang out in the shade of Illusen's Glade.
There's nothing more Nanci the Ixi could dream of.

The Anti-Slorg Hand Cannon
by alagfalaswen

Slorgs can be charmingly cutesy,
until they slime your plants,
alas, said slime could kill a tree,
and mould may soon advance.

So how does one keeps one’s estate
thriving and non-slimy?
The Anti-Slorg Hand Cannon’s great
for Slorg-clearing duty!

A little zap around the yard,
will chase those Slorgs away,
and make it clear that they’ve been barred
from sliming your driveway.

Sure, they may make faces winsome,
but no, you must hold fast!
A cannon round will see those glum
Slorgs stop their mass trespass.

(Of course, you could still keep one 
or two as a cute Petpet,
 But your topiary will be done
if you persist to fret.)

The Anti-Slorg Hand Cannon will
protect your greenery
So use it well and firm until
your plants are all Slorg-free!

A Haunted Woods Tour
by myncithemonkey

On a quiet, moonlit night,
The air fraught with fright,
Two pets bravely explore,
The Haunted Woods of yore.

The Esophagor sits brooding,
Glares at visitors approaching,
"Bring meeee food," he moans,
They give him some Tombscones.

To the north a tree glows brightly,
Its large brain pulsating slightly,
Always seeking info of the past,
What question will they be asked?

Nearby is the witch's tower,
Edna cooks with her magical power,
The Zafara's mood already prickly,
Deliver her ingredients quickly.

Last stop is the Deserted Fairground,
Despite the name, many are around,
From Test Your Strength to Coconut Shy,
Another memorable trip flies by.

The Bitter Banker
by halondrus

I opened this account years ago
Although I have nothing to show

The Bank Manager cringes when I come in
Then rests his hands on his chin

“It’s great to see you again,” he lies
“What can I do for you today?” he sighs

I deposit my ten thousand Neopoints quickly
I feel his attitude becoming more prickly

It’s not my fault, I try to save
Because it is riches that I crave

I try to restock, win prizes, play games
But I’m not good despite my claims

Hoping for Millionaire Platinum some day
Hoping somehow I can find a way

He knows this goal after many years
Countless trips and lots of tears

The bank manager groans and takes my fund
But what he says next leaves me stunned

He shakes his head and says to me sombrely
“I hope you live forever in poverty”

Comma Faerie
by water_park1993

A Faerie who sprinkles a much needed comma
In the writing of young scholars
Does this lead to havoc and drama
Or provide the much needed punctuation colour?

For lists, she knows, a comma is needed
Between one item and the next
A loaf of bread, a coffee heated
And optionally before the last item of text

Legend has it she is a bit of jester
When she meddles with her creative pen
“Let’s eat, Fyora”, had written an aspiring author
“Let’s eat Fyora”, she corrected again and again

She, might, have, meddled, with, us,
One, too, many, times,
Jokes, and, gags, were, funny, once,
Stop, messing, with, my, lines,

Although she could be an urban lore
The Comma Faerie is not someone to dismiss
Keep your eyes peeled during the Festival
As she turns your prose to bliss

Korbats Lab
by sportyangel3338

Most species of bat live in a cave
But Korbats don’t adhere to that craze
The Korbats Lab is their lair
You could try to play this game if you dare

Breaking boxes is the goal of this game
Drop the ball and you are to blame
Improve your chances with a potion
And always keep your ball in motion

They haunt poor Neopians by appearing in their frame
Causing chaos is their aim
You’d freak out if you were in the top fifty
Because you’d receive an avatar that what oh so nifty

But don’t worry, now there is nothing to here
The Korbats Lab game is no longer here
It’s been sent to the Game Graveyard to rot
It’s legacy lives on as we have not forgot

The Revenge of The Ship's Cook
by dihybrid

It’s a thankless job to be
The only cook for a ship.
You have to plan ahead for all
The food needed per trip,

You must make sure that vitamins
Are there in every meal,
You can’t trust pots to stay un-spilled
If the captain takes the wheel.

Don’t even get me started
On the pirates’ etiquette.
Why would you sit for supper
If your clothes are sopping wet?

I spent all night working
On this perfect marinade,
Got the ratio just right,
The vegetables sautéed,

Only to hear “this dish needs salt,”
As if you cannot add it.
After two straight weeks at sea,
I’d finally had it!

Maybe the ship’s, and my, morale,
Has hit a little snag.
So yes, I tied them to the mast.
We needed a new flag!

Legends of Rhian
by skeletonic

Long before the current times,
There was a Peophin who walked on land.
Four legs rather than two plus a fin,
She went by the name Rhian.

Some may think of Rhian
As simply a mythical legend.
But books of ages boast her name,
So proof of her is strengthened.

Since her time as a land Peophin
The species has evolved.
The hind legs have fused into a fin,
They spend time in the sea as Neopia revolves.

Majestic as they are in the sea,
You may not help but wonder:
How were they on the land?
Legends of Rhian will thunder!

Kougra's Tale of Two Naps
by chai7705

In the Mystery Isle jungle where green vines climb
A Kougra lazily lounges, fully lost in time
The rays of the day dance through all the leaves
As the Kougra enjoys a hot, sunny day's reprieve

Distant Tiki-tacks and Pteri-tweets fill the air
While the Kougra simply yawns, without any care
With a stretch and a sigh, a single paw on his nose
He enjoys the most delectable, delightful daytime doze!

Later, he makes way to where the waves all play
At the shoreline to spend the close of his day
He finds the most perfect spot to stake his claim
While Myncis play their last Beach Volleyball game

On soft sands he feels safe, sound, and secure
Among the hums of tourists' nighttime Tiki Tours
Almost like a lovely little island lullaby
The Kougra snoozes and dreams as stars float by

This Kougra Day has been very well spent
No care in the world -- no worry, no lament
The sounds of the sea (amid some snores)
This Kougra could ask for nothing more!

The Frugal Poogle
by venturecaptalist

There once was a Poogle,
Who spent all his days being frugal.
Saving Neopoints was always on his mind,
Spending Neopoints was a crime.

While others rushed to shop on half price day,
The frugal Poogle stayed at bay.
When he did shop he would haggle away,
He wasn’t going to restock anything at this rate.

Though his bank book grew heavy with every deposit,
Friends would urge him to just toss it.
He would walk through the marketplace calm and steady,
Though he’d buy nothing; his pockets weren’t ready.

But one day he finally had enough,
The discipline of saving was too tough.
The Poogle realized things are better in moderation,
He could finally buy things without consideration.

The Poogle decided to be frugal no more,
And even bought out entire sections of each store.
The once frugal Poogle was living his best life,
The stress was lifted and he felt just right.

Lord Darigan
by qeenoneo

Menacing and twisted Lord Darigan appears, 
but all he wished for was the best for his peers. 
He rules over the Citadel in the sky, 
overlooking Meridell from up high. 

Their alliance is historically a little sour, 
as Meridell sought out the Citadel’s power.
During the conflict Lord Darigan turned into a foul beast, 
eventually once the orb was destroyed the fighting ceased. 

Lord Darigan lost his memory of this terrible event in time, 
for a while disappearing, but meanwhile being just fine. 
Once his memory cleared up he remembered his true desire, 
wanting the best for his people, he would not tire. 

The Lord to this day does not trust King Skarl, 
hearing his name makes the good Lord snarl. 
As long as they keep the peace there is no worry, 
if not, King Skarl will be the one who is sorry.
