Ogrin Day Special

A Gift for Ogrin Day
by bittersweet52

Knitting and knitting all through the night
The deadline is looming just out of sight
Preparing for Ogrin Day - it's almost here!
Will I have time to finish, oh dear~

Since I am Elderly I don't need as much sleep
So staying up a bit longer won't affect me a heap
But my back's a bit stiff and my eyes a bit dry
(One day when you're older you'll understand why)

I'm making a gift for my Plushie friend
She wants a new style, and to trim her split ends
I happened to have some yarn in my stash
And decided to share something at the big Ogrin bash

It's a deep purple hue, just like her big button eyes
I'm making extensions that will be just her size
Her ear and tail fluffs and her ruff are just fine
But for her mane I have just the design

Subtle and sophisticated is the ultimate goal
We're adding some length and just a little curl
The color will match everything else just right
I have faith in the end it'll be a lovely sight

Counting my stitches and counting my rows
I think I just have a few more to go
Ogrin Day will be here in just a few hours
There I'm done! Time for a nap and a shower...

Soon it'll be time for presents and joy
Music and revelry, snacks, games, and toys
The Ogrin Day party is always the best
It'll be in the 'Lodge Ballroom, come join the fest!

What is Twenty Seven?
by tylerhuyser

What is twenty seven?
Is it merely a quarter of a century?
Is it merely another year sequentially?
Is it full of unforgettable memories?

What is twenty seven?
Has it really been that long?
Since I found a place where I feel strong.
A place where I belong.

What is twenty seven?
It has been time well spent.
Time where I’ve dreamt.
And time where I’ve made friends.

What is twenty seven?
It’s Neopia’s age.
Year where things have changed.
And I’ve never been more engaged.

What is twenty seven?
If age really is a number,
Then twenty seven is Neopia’s—
Endless wonder.

Happy New Year, Neopians!

New Year, New You
by tatyanne

Everyday I walk down a secret path,
Cradling my Aisha tightly in my arms,
Pondering the Lab Ray’s aftermath,
Hoping my Aisha won’t come to harm.

I look into the Scientist’s hypnotic eyes,
And feel my Aisha trembling with fear.
I hear her soft and sorrowful cries,
As I gently and lovingly pet her ears.

“Everything will be alright,” I coo,
And my Aisha looks at me with trust.
Leaping down, she knows what to do–
She pads to the Ray without much fuss.

The Scientist gives a maniacal laugh,
And the Ray begins its electrifying buzz.
My Aisha lets out a tiny little huff,
And soon I spot the Burlap fuzz.

The crackling sound comes to a pause,
And there is my Burlap Aisha proud.
She is not the Grey Aisha she once was,
And together we cheer glad and loud.

I love her beautiful button eyes,
As one is grey and one is blue.
The hessian cloth is a nice surprise,
And so it is “New year, new you!”

New Year, New Neo

A fresh utopia.

In trio.

Both big and small.

New year,
New you.
Fight in the Battledome,
Have a breakthrough.

New year,
New Neo.
New characters,
To meet, we know.

Orion's Prophecy: Advent Calendar!
by profebest

The Advent Calendar was amazing, very creative,
Just like getting free items from the Snowager.
Orion's Prophecy was all about four elements,
Tomorrow, I wake up like no sleeping segments. 

Orion's music is still ringing inside my ears.
The flow of Seshatia music sound is very clear.
Its appearance on the Advent Calendar was unclear,
The references of the elements are something to fear.

Water is the main element: Water Musical Cylinder.
Fire like the Magma Pool: Fire Musical Cylinder.
Air flows within the air: Air Musical Cylinder.
Earth is the globe: Earth Musical Cylinder.

Orion gathered all the elements in the area,
Written on different shapes of an old tablet, 
Seshatia might comeback soon, what could happen?
Orion's Prophecy ended on a mysterious day...

Happy Ogrin Day!

The Ogrin
by dinha_reeves

On the 27th day of the Celebrating month
While snowflakes were falling from the sky
And the Neopians were enjoying the holidays
A new species of a Neopet came by.

A shy creature at first sight
But talkative once they get to know someone
Also a loyal friend and a good companion
The Ogrin is your buddy Number One!

They are typically very smart
And like to live in the outdoors
Nature is something they highly value
They're Neopets you'd like to call yours.

They have nice and gentle eyes
A soft fur so shiny and bright
The Ogrin is a sweet and cool Neopet
That no one would like to fight.

During this cold and long winter
Keep your Ogrin close and tight
They'll protect you and be by your side
And everything will be alright!

Displeased Jazan New Year Doll
by precious_katuch14

It's a brand new year,
And all the dolls and Plushies
Are celebrating.

Look at that one there,
Displeased Jazan New Year Doll,
With his party hat.

Red and yellow stripes
Perfectly match his outfit.
A chic party hat!

Eyeliner on point,
I guess I mean guy-liner.
Jazan's serving looks!

He's dressed to the nines,
With his royal livery,
Befitting a king.

Sitting on the shelf,
Waiting for his li'l teacup
With his pretend cake.

Or maybe waiting
If a Plushie of Nabile
Will sit next to him.

It's a brand new year,
King Jazan looks delighted
To celebrate it!

The Ogrin Master
by togepwi

Patient and wise
He can see through the lies
If you are humble and true
You may find him in Shenkuu

If you wish to train
There is much to gain
As no one is faster
Than the Ogrin Master!

They say he is blind
But he is quite the mastermind
Think carefully and do not be naive
He has a few tricks up his sleeve!

Many will underestimate
And meet an undesirable fate
However, if you meet his gaze
That alone is worthy of praise!

A Grarrl's New Year's Resolution
by _brainchild_

Neopia has a new year!
Year Twenty-Seven, this I hear.
What should my resolution be?
Why, you'll just have to wait and see.

To not eat everything in sight?
This really is a common plight
For Skeiths and Grarrls. I'm a dino
With an appetite, I know!

To never, once, procrastinate?
Not on the homework which I hate?
To not skip class and play some games?
I loathe math. Am I one to blame?

To not waste away savings on
A gamble? They will soon be gone.
To show up to my job on time?
Fast food work is less than sublime.

I guess I won't eat furniture!
My resolution, this for sure,
Is to eat only food, my friends!
The stomachaches will surely end.

I Am Orion
by black_skull725

I am the son of masters of science 
But I had decided I liked magic
They saw this as an act of defiance
A strong contradiction to their logic.

And they threatened to take away my cards
Thus, I chose to run away from my home
But life away from those comforts was hard
The Haunted Woods was no place me to roam.

Then a faerie happened upon me
She led me to see the Faerie Queen
At that moment I began to feel free
She accepted me, making me feel seen

Yes, Orion the Ogrin is my name
Seeing into the future is my game.

Ogrin Armoury
by ophiopogon

Jade Helmet of the Ogrin,
Please protect my Ogrin's noggin
Wait, not even six icons of defence?!
Well, that's complete nonsense!

If she wears her Full Ogrin Armour
Nobody will be able to harm her
... Unless they attack with fire, light or air,
But that'd just be totally unfair

Here, take this Frozen Ogrin Mane
If anyone bothers you, show them PAIN!
But is this REALLY a weapon?
It feels like a misconception

Well, there's your Frozen Ogrin Tail Flail
Scratch that, I think we should bail
This battle's over before it's begun
Ogrin equipment isn't much fun

So today, I think we'll spend our time
Spoiling you and your Petpet Splime
Ogrin Day is meant to be cheery
So I'll look after you, my dearie!

New Year's with Twig
by funny_haha_funny

Sweet little Twig, so plain, so small,

A mere wooden branch, no hero at all.

No eyes, no mouth, nothing but a sprig,

But you are so loved by me, dear Petpetpet Twig.

In a forest full of ember, you came to me,
A wonderful Advent surprise that filled me with glee.

You didn’t chirp, you didn’t buzz, you didn’t let out a hoot,

And though you laid so strewn, you took my heart by root.

Now only weeks later, fireworks flare,
With Twig beside me, we look up and stare.
No gasps, no howls, no small cries,
Just Twig and I quiet under the New Year’s sky.

Orie Dinelle
by theguy2020

A star for several years on the field,
She makes it so her team will never yield,
No matter the odds she always tries her best,
Making her opponents have the toughest test!

Orie Dinelle is an Ogrin with passion,
Blocking Yooyus from reaching her team's goal in the wildest fashion,
She thinks two steps ahead of anyone trying to score,
If she's the opposing goalkeeper you'll have to bring your best to the floor!

Passionate for her team and her sport,
One of the best in the game who rarely falls short,
Clearly one of the most athletic around,
Blocking even the fastest Yooyus being shot on the ground!

A student of the game who knows how to play Yooyuball right,
Her style of play is truly an entertaining sight,
Fans from even opposing teams awe from the stands,
Shocked to see the rumors of the magic Orie Dinelle can do with her hands!

Her combination of speed and wit are second to none,
Opponents have sarcastically accused her of ruining the fun,
An example of what can happen when you work on your craft,
Orie Dinelle is often leaving rookie opponents daft!

Helping Brightvale reach the podium this year was an amazing feat,
Adding to her resume that is already hard to beat,
We're excited to see what she does next year,
I know I'm already eager to cheer!

Magnificent Mutants
by ningkov1

Mutant Ogrin what do you see? 
Through the trees and across the sea
Three eyes to see more clearly 
Always smiling so sincerely 

Mutant Ogrin what do you hear? 
Tentacle ears that some fear,
Though negative voices float by 
These strong Ogrin do not cry 

Mutant Ogrin what do you feel? 
Strong limbs ideal,
Colorful body unforgettable 
Not at all regrettable 

Mutant Ogrin what do you taste? 
A large mouth that speaks without haste 
Only kind words with friends and the rest 
Mutant cupcakes for snacking the best 

Mutant Ogrin what do you smell? 
A strong nose that works well,
The sweet smell of the holiday season 
Celebrations for any reason 

The word Mutant isn’t bad 
To be a Mutant Ogrin is to be glad,
A body that’s one of a kind 
May their uniqueness shine

Where to find an Ogrin
by definethrill

An Ogrin seems like such a fun Pet!
You never know what you're going to get!

How do you get one to take home?
For these Pets are ones to roam!

We need to catch one it seems!
I've only had one in my dreams.

Do they come from the Haunted Woods?
Or do they come from one of Neopia Central's neighbourhoods?

Do the come from the Maraquan seas?
Maybe they are from Shenkuu, sipping exotic teas.

Oh wait! They are very smart!
From other Neopets, that is what sets them apart.

Perhaps they hail from Meridell,
Where castles lay, and things well.. tend to smell.

On second thought lets go with, Brightvale.
Where knowledge is what prevails.

They could be from Altador,
They sure do love that slushie store!

I bet they are not from Krawk Island;
Or from Terror Mountain covered in garland.

What about Faerieland?
It is a beautiful place that is grand.

Perhaps the best place to find an Ogrin is the pound,
Where one who needs love can be found.

It doesn't matter where one chooses to live;
It doesn't even have to be where one is native.

Loving your Ogrin is all that matters;
and of course; hopefully they have some manners!

An Ode to Ogrin
by tickleh

You’ll make this friend,
Wherever you are, 
An Ogrin may be shy, 
But they’ll shine like a star.

You don’t have to be scared
Of an Ogrin in any way
They love to make friends
And they love to play.

Ogrin are smart.
Ogrin are kind.
Ogrin are the best friend,
You’ll ever find.

With furry little paws,
And a well kept mane.
They like to look their best
Because grooming can be a pain.

After a month of celebration,
We end it in the best way,
With our tummies and hearts full,
Get ready, because it’s Ogrin Day!
