Poogle Parade Special

Faerie Poogle, Subverted
by flufflepuff

His supple hide of lavender,
It blends with muted light.
The yielding daybreak paints the sky
As banished is the night.

On rosy wings of gossamer,
He hovers near the dome
To test his mettle and his flight,
Defending faerie home.

The Poogle hesitates no more,
His onyx eyes are set.
He tucks his wings and arrows down,
A streak of beauty, yet
With fierce stiletto teeth he bares, 
Agility on wings, 
With blessings from the faeries, he,
The song of battle, sings.

His grace and charm are in each one,
Each clash of blade on blade.
Despite his fragile looks, his skill
Is great and will not fade.

So do not underestimate
The ones who dainty look:
For no one knows their core, their soul,
The stories in their book.

Eppa the Storyteller
by i_lovee_icecream

A storytelling mama,
Coloured in purple hues,
A Poogle named Eppa,
Who spreads faerie news. 

She tucks her sweet babe,
Into her sweet bed. 
And reads her tall tales,
As she lays her head. 

Her daughter, Kora,
A Poogle so Yellow,
Dreams and drifts off,
As the stories help her mellow. 

“This story takes place,
A long, long time ago,”
Eppa begins her epic,
And her narrative flows. 

“It’s the tale of an air faerie,
Whose beauty inspires. 
She is trapped in a tower,
At the top of a spire.”

“One day she realized,
She could use her wings. 
She practised and practised,
So her freedom could ring.”

“Out of the tall window,
She took a great leap,
Then, she began to fly,
Her happiness made her weep.”
 
Eppa looked to Kora,
Whose eyes were closed.
She gave her a kiss atop her head,
And a boop on the nose. 

“Good night, sweet girl,”
She whispered in her ear. 
That storytelling mama,
Her job was done here.

M. S. P. P.
by 9kas

M IS FOR…
Malevolent, like my crimson eyes,
A glare so piercing that some may despise. 
My wide evil grin often terrifies many,
Only the bravest would seek my company. 

S IS FOR…
Sentient, I’m not just a “thing”,
Consciously observing my curious surroundings. 
I feel, I sense, I know all your thoughts,
Aware that my presence makes you fraught. 

P IS FOR…
Plushie, and I’m soft, I guess?
But a soft personality I do not possess.  
Don’t try to treat me like one of your toys
Or beware of my wrath as I plot to destroy!

P IS FOR…
Poogle, Neopia’s cuddliest species,
But make no mistake: no cuddling me, please!
Like Poogles who race, I’m also quite fast,
Quick to terrorize and leave all aghast!

ADD IT ALL UP…
And that’s essentially me,
Malevolently charming, the MSPP. 
You may be terrified or you may be obsessed,
But there’s no doubt about it: I am the best.

Advice from a Halloween Poogle
by bittersweet52

High in the mountains
Where the snow falls soft
A beast dwells in the caverns
Where icicles form aloft

His visage is frightening
His demeanour is rough
But there's one who's not afraid
And can look at him with love

The Halloween Poogle
He can see what lies inside
And with him the Snow Beast knows
He doesn't have to hide

Their hearts beat in tandem
Understanding runs deep
Their friendship can't be broken
Like the promises they keep

Every day they get together
Have a chat and take some tea
Life is so sweet and simple
The way it's meant to be

If you meet someone who's different
On this advice you can rely
Think like a Poogle and look again
You may find a friend if you try

Off to the Poogle Races
by maddie_bangz

3… 2… 1… Go!
The Poogles take off like a lightning bolt
Down the track they race to the finish
Crashing through the ribbon with a jolt

These Poogles spend their whole lives training
For this race to determine the best
They’ll even compete multiple times a day
To really put their talents to the test

Betting on a Poogle can be so fun
But it’s high stakes so be ready to spend
Because you never know which racer
Is going to be crowned winner in the end

Make sure to cheer as loud as you can
For the Poogle you want to see come out on top
It motivates them to push as hard as they can
They’ll fly through the finish and never even stop

A day at the races is so much fun
We hope you decide to visit and support!
These Poogles work hard every day
So they stay competitive and never fall short

Poogle For a Day
by ennyra

Just for one day, 
We can all pretend. 
To be a Poogle,
From beginning to end. 

What better way to celebrate, 
Than copying your favourite. 
No matter what colour we choose, 
Nobody will know we're counterfeit. 

Would you like to be a Faerie,
Fluttering and flying in the sky? 
In pretty purple and pink, 
Everyone loves to see you go by.

Or would you turn evil, 
Using the MSP as your inspiration? 
It's only for one day after all, 
You could practice your intimidation.

Even if you don't dress up at all, 
It's worth giving all Poogles some love.
They will be some loyal friends, 
And stand by when push comes to shove.

Plenty o' Poogle Purchases
by chai7705

My Poogle's on the go
She's sprinting to and fro
What's possibly the problem here?
For now, I do not know...

She runs from shop to shop
I fear she will not stop
She buys all kinds and sorts of things
The beat, she does not drop!

So many Poogle toys
A Bugle makes some noise
A Spinning Top and Marbles too
Plenty of Plushies picked with poise!

Then, a Poogle Pot Pie
Poogle Pate on the side
She even grabs a sweet treat, too
A Poogle Pop - what a surprise!

A Delightful Poogle Dress?
I really am impressed!
A wig, a hat, and some shoes too
What for, is anyone's guess!

A thought pops in my head
AHA! I've got her read
The reason why she's bought these things
Trinkets, treats, and threads

Prepared for fun and play
Gone out with no delay
She's ready to shout out and say,
"Happy Poogle Day!"

A Poogle Parade Wish
by maddiebby

Yesterday I woke up and I was a Kyrii,
What will happen to me today we will have to see...
Every day I'm hopeful that I may have a stroke of luck
And become something new, but for now I'm quite stuck.

A few levels here,
A new gender there,
Colour change is quite the surprise,
But there's one thing that I wish the lab would revise...

I spend my time wishing
To finally become a Poogle one day.
I hope and wish
and plead and pray

Someday I will be pleased
With the outcome of the ray
But for now I remain as a Kyrii
For yet another day.

Today I feel hopeful!
Today is my day!
I hope to become a Poogle
I pray, I pray, I pray!

So the lab fires and what do you know?
"...and he turns into a Blue Poogle!"
Finally I can participate in the Poogle Parade!
What a day, what a day, what a day.

I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and new.
I'm a Poogle after all, beautiful and blue!
Back to the lab today, change I better not...
"...and he changes colour to snot!"

Talk Like a Pirate Day
by spukl1

Arr it is talk like a pirate day,
So we do it the pirate way. 
There are scuttles amongst us,
And Pawkeets to discuss. 

Arr it is talk like a pirate day,
So come say what ye ought to say.
It’s like yee and arr and all of that,
Grab yer eye patch & don your hat.

Arr it is talk like a pirate day,
Neopia’s best holiday…
We all talk some nonsense,
Under Krawk Island’s pretense,

Arr it is talk like a pirate day,
Never is it a silly cliché,
Yee giggle amongst the boards,
And pretend to play with swords.

Arr is it talk like a pirate day,
Krawk Island has infiltrated our stay. 
We can never escape it nor want to,
The pirate day is the best we do.

A Pirate's Life
by togepwi

Ahoy there!
Climb aboard if ye dare
We be 'eadin' off to sea
It be the best place to be!

Ye be welcome to the crew!
Tonight we will 'ave stew
But fer now, there's no time to rest!
It be yer turn on the crow's nest

O' course we be lookin' fer loot
If ye see somethin' give us a 'oot
We got this here map
It be showin’ where there be a trap!

There be a storm to the sky ahead
Did ye 'ear what I said?
Heave ho!
No time to be slow!

Finally we made it to shore
Now it be time to explore!
Remember, X marks the spot
'ope ye be ready to dig a lot!

The Magical Pirate Krawk Plushie: A Pet Transformed
by _brainchild_

I thought I saw this Plushie wink!
I must be dreaming. Do you think
It really could be magical?
At any rate, it's never dull.

The Pirate Krawk is dashing. A
Bandana makes him apt to slay.
The hook o'er limb is charming. Why,
I think it really suits this guy!

My Neopet picks up this plush
And starts to feel an instant rush
Of magic, since he has been changed
Into a Pirate Krawk. How strange!

My Neopet embraces this
New Pirate form. You just can't miss
This handsome chap; he shall draw stares
Of envy, since he's very fair.

Pirate Speak
by lunarshadowxx

A day to commemorate,
Tales of old and dialects of few.
Lupes to Draiks alike,
Hardly a sight so lively.

O’er the plank!
You hear a Chomby yell.
Ahoy, me hearties!
The group of Kougra exclaimed.

Pets with pirate hats,
Petpets with patches and peg legs.
Could one imagine so much laughter and fun,
Nay!

A Shoyru and his friends leapt upon a prop ship,
Argh, avast ye!
The pretending crew rushing onto the deck,
Playing with wooden swords and foam hooks.

A day of joy and friendship,
Of appreciation and fun.
Would you like to come along?
Aye!
