KOI DAY SPECIAL

Koi Day: A Splashing Good Time
by rosesofthespring

A splish, a splash,
But don't you dash,
For something is abrew!

A flip of the tail...
A trip to Brightvale...
And all of Neopia too!

The water bubbles,
So forget your troubles,
Cause water is the only thing blue!

Every girl, every boy,
It's the day of the Koi!
Let all pets celebrate! Woohoo hoo!

Preparing for Koi Day
by aethelar

There's a scent on the wind,
A splash of gold in the water,
There's a ripple spreading over the ocean.
There's a hush on the waves,
Whispers round corners,
There's a rumour starting under the sea.

The kelp has been polished
The maractite's gleaming
There's banners hung over the caves;
The tables are dressed
Fancy food steaming
The band's been preparing for days.

The ocean is waiting
Maraqua is ready
The people are raring to go;
The big day is coming -
Keep that cake steady!
- where are the chairs for the show?

Gracious, it's starting -
Oh mercy, the dancing -
Has anyone seen my shoes?
This food is delicious! -
Here, pass me those dishes -
And heavens, just look at those views!

It's music and laughter,
Balloons in the rafters,
And chaos spread out on the floor.
Join in and be happy,
It's Koi Day now, laddy!
So cheers and get ready for more!

Ode to the Koi!
by alyndasgallery

The Koi is a fabled old Neopet,
That you'll find living under the sea.
They are great fans of the water,
And are friends to you and me.

The Koi hail from Maraqua,
A divine underwater lagoon.
They splash about in the waves,
Under the light of the moon.

The Koi have spectacular fins,
They wear their scales with pride.
Come in all sorts of dazzling colours,
Their fame is known far and wide.

The Koi can swim like a champion,
They can out-race any old thing.
And while shimmying under the waves,
You can quite often hear them sing.

The Koi are a cheerful bunch,
Who would make the best playmate.
So if you are a fan of the water,
Your friendship, oh it will be great!

Koi Warriors
by mudiikip

Slippery skin and long pointy fins
Kois may be delicate, and also shy
But they're the bravest warriors you'll ever come by

In the sea and beyond the shore
These Raiders of Maraqua will hear their call
And will battle for glory, all for all

Behind their king's trident
These warriors of old
Will spread stories of war and let legends be told 

So don't look down on their gentle faces
For beneath the waves, while not alone
In any battle, Kois hold their own

Honoring King Kelpbeard on Koi Day
by painted_dreams87

On this fine day,
sixteen years ago,
the species of Koi,
we came to know.

As we celebrate Koi,
on their special day,
let us honor the King,
in a fitting way.

Which king, you ask?
It's no mystery.
King Kelpbeard has made
quite the history.

In his early days,
his judgment was in error.
Underestimating Captain Dread
caused Maraqua much terror.

Cursed and lost,
Maraqua was gone.
King Kelpbeard knew 
it would live on.

Years has passed,
a secret place discovered.
Maraqua could finally
be recovered.

There stood King Kelpbeard,
overseeing it all.
Maraqua is stronger
and will forever stand tall.

Shenkuu's Coolest Koi: The Petpet Purveyor
by _brainchild_

Out of all the Kois that grace
This planet, there is one
With such a pretty, stunning face
That's brighter than the sun.

This Koi shall run a precious store
Of petpets full of charm.
This place will surely never bore,
With pals from Shenkuu's farms.

Fanciful Fauna, as this
Gorgeous shop is called,
Is populated by the bliss
Of friends cuter than dolls.

With a smile, the Koi shall greet
All who walk through the door.
"This Pandaphant is super sweet!
He's all you want and more!"

"No, I'd like a Quilin, please."
"Another awesome choice.
His stunning stare shall never cease.
With this one, you'll rejoice."

I leave the store, most overjoyed
By my grand, regal friend.
Nothing can make me annoyed—
My happiness won't end.

This cool Koi shall perpetually
Purvey most pretty pals.
Their presence shall exude beauty
Among the guys and gals.

Koi's Special Day
by chiefgrumpy

This Koi day has once again come
But whats so special? What can we do?
Look for Koi's in the pound
Because people would make one brand new!


You can use all your saved points
And buy a bush for the rainbow pool
So you can paint your new Koi a different colour
So thats two things so far you can do.


You can go and check the colours in the news
Some look pretty slick
Though there are heaps of colours out already
This day doesn't last long so be quick!


You'll be able to see new plushies
And there will be new toys to buy
See the painted Kois in the art gallery
There are more things you can try


Koi lovers will spend lots of points on today
Mostly on their Koi related Gallery
But your Koi can have some free training
At Cap'n Threelegs' Academy!

Fins of Fire
by anjie

Scintillating, aqua sheen,
Like silk doth river run.
Dappled sheen, kaleidoscope,
Lit by the glow of sun.
There, a fleeting, flicker-flash,
Koi glides through fickle light.
Inferno blazes, coloured flames,
Do burn like fire, bright.

Embracing silken tip of fin,
A crimson, vibrant hue.
Blends to tangerine, then gold,
Then shadow tones fade through.
The creature is to fire born,
With motion, flames do shift.
A fire burns across the blue,
When fins do turn and lift.

Gliding through the gilded deep,
A vivid flash of flame.
A fire Koi seems living light,
A blaze that none can tame.
Glitter glow, the silent glide,
He laces river’s road.
Boulders etched with ancient grooves,
Where water’s journey flowed.

A moment brief, the water breached,
The flame-fins meet the light.
Above the surface, greet the sun,
Koi seems to near take flight.
Then fickle phantom; gone again,
Leaves memory of bright hue.
Fins glaze and melt to water’s hold,
Once more, the endless blue.

A Koi Watercolor Scene
by binky1260

Beneath the depths of azure blue
A vast chest lies ajar,
Unknown to fortune-seekers
Who would journey from afar.

Within the precious chest
A glint of gold is spied,
Not of silver or dubloons
Yet treasure there resides.

For languid Koi in glistening hues
Of sapphire and ruby
Reflect the brilliant sunlight in
Radiance and beauty.

In the mesmerizing motions
Of hypnotic daydreams,
In liquid flight they thrive
Within a watercolor scene.

Koi Pond
by wintermint_1012

Walk along this path with me
Past cherry blossoms and bonsai tree
Stone by stone we make our way
To waters where the Koi stay

Willow branches in the wind
Part to let us venture in
Beyond the wisps, a quiet pond
With secrets tranquil as the dawn

River-stone beneath our toes
A perfect place to find repose
Cool water lapping at our feet
We wait for those we came to meet

Then iridescent they appear
Opal fins in waters clear
Beneath the surface dancing then 
Their lazy circles usher zen

Swirling circles fix our eyes
While flowing bodies hypnotize
Like yin and yang the Koi revolve
They whirl slow and then dissolve

When they go, you look at me
Trapped in noiseless revelry
Our smiles escape as silent cheers
Like music to the Koi’s ears
