BORI DAY SPECIAL

A Celebration Of Bori!
by Dr_tomoe

Happy Bori Day, Neopia
(although it's a bit late)!
Today, we celebrate the Bori
on this very special date.

Originally from Terror Mountain,
only one day to find
they had been discovered
with their king, the Keeper of Time.

Since then, they've spread out
and now can be found all over,
playing Yooyuball for Krawk Island
or having a job as a miner.

Although they're thought to
be a timid like Armin the Small,
on the other end, there's Rasala
and she'll swarm you with fireballs.

Like all other Neopets, they
come in sizes small to Abominable,
but today is their day,
so let's all have a ball!

My Eccentric Ghostly Bori Perfume
by Sugarypixiestix2

Since Halloween is only weeks away,
I decided to buy an unnatural spray.
Its bottle lets off an eerie glow
as it levitates like a gliding crow.

At first I was afraid to put it on,
the glass Bori's face was foregone,
looking like a drifting dreamscape
that is invoking a timeless escape.

Only ghost Bori use it frequently,
and I do try to use it infrequently
because I'm not a spirit or a ghost,
though I do love every ghost toast.

A novel perfume like this true one
is surely not to be used by the ton.
So, I do try to keep myself in check
if I choose to brush it on my neck.

Whenever I spritz it on my clothes,
my nose awakes like a budding rose.
This season is going to be a treat
with my phantom essence at my feet.

Festive Bori Wig
by Indulgences

I dress my Bori gracefully.
They're gentlemen and belles.
I teach my 'pets to bow and dance.
Their manners quite excel!

Each Bori gent presents a paw.
Each lady takes an arm.
They're dancing now, they're lovely paired,
And simply rife with charm!

But, what is this? My youngest 'pet
Has made her grand debut!
Her Festive Bori Wig is grand.
It's chestnut brown in hue!

All dancing stops, the dancers gape.
Her beauty does astound.
Her lovely hair is piled atop
Her head, a gorgeous mound!

The amber of her silken hairs
Are graced with silver clips.
The clips are fashioned into stars
Whose sparkle will not quit!

A scattering of diamond gems
That dust her beauteous hair
Complete her glowing, lovely look.
She's quite beyond compare!

Both male and female Bori are
Quite taken by her style.
The female Bori smile and bow.
The gents are quite beguiled!

My youngest Bori blushes, bows,
And takes another's paw.
She's dancing now, she's glorious,
And everyone sighs, ah!

It's Bori Day, so buy your 'pets
Some wigs that they can wear!
Perhaps they'll grace the ballroom floor,
So sleek and debonair!

Just Another Boriing Poem
by Meowclopspurrcat

I was digging for ideas 
As I walked home today,
But my mind was completely bare!
I couldn’t decide what to write about
And I just got lost and stared.

Suddenly, I came across a punny billboard that
Brought up to my mind a store
Of ideas (some cliché, but fun anyway)
And that thought I just couldn’t ignore!

So, you may want to hear 
Of my dear friend the Bori
Who I personally think is a little Boriing,
But I love his jokes and clever quips,
And his burrowing skills you can’t be ignoring!

The Bori makes all others look lazy
With his tremendous ethic of work;
While Lennies and Xweetoks 
May tend to preen,
You can trust that a Bori won’t shirk!

He will dig his way through 
The dirtiest tasks
Without ever breaking a sweat;
When it comes to 
Honest and hardworking ‘pets,
The Bori’s the best you can get!

So, his pattern of speech 
May come at a crawl
And his demeanor a bit low to the ground,
You can honestly say that, on any day,
The Bori’s the toughest around!

Brush teeth, dress up, let’s go, chop chop! 
The Breadmaster’s line is past the door --

My Raking Bori Gnome
by Binky1260

As autumn leaves begin to fall,
My garden will unfold
A brilliant canvas on display
In shades of red and gold.

And in my Neogarden,
Where a grove of birch trees stands,
A tireless gnome toils away
With rake in tiny hands.

No errant leaf escapes his gaze
As he adds it to the pile;
Purposefully, he works away,
Whistling all the while.

And when at last each leaf is
Gently coaxed to join its friends,
He jumps with glee into the mound
And then begins again!

His diligence and attitude
Are what set him apart;
For, he completes each challenge
With a light and carefree heart. 

And so, I try to emulate 
My little gnome each day,
And strive to combine drudgery
With a bit of play.

Donny's Toy Repair Shop
by Jellybeanott

Way up in Terror Mountain,
Half buried in the snow,
You’ll find a small repair shop
Where broken toys can go.

You push the frozen door,
It creaks through all the ice,
And carefully step inside
To seek some shrewd advice.

Deep inside your bag,
Protected from the cold,
There sits your little broken toy --
Loved and cherished, but oh-so-old.

Holding it in your hand,
You approach the watchful Bori,
He greets you gruffly from the desk
And you begin your sorrowful story.

You’ve had it all your life, you see,
The first toy you ever owned,
And when it fell and smashed in pieces,
Oh, how you moaned and groaned.

Donny simply stares at you
Then opens his mouth to speak,
“I’ll see if I can fix it fer ya,
But I’ll need Neopoints to take a peek.”

You dig around your purse,
Removing what he asks,
Then stand back to watch
As he begins the skilful task.

His crafty, graceful fingers
Twist and turn and bend,
Sticking and slotting and fixing,
Soon the toy is on the mend.

He passes you back the item,
It looks as good as new.
You gush with thanks
And hug it close, despite the setting glue.

Donny shrugs and turns his back,
Says it’s only what he’s there for.
You smile and wish him well
Before leaving through the door.

Of The Night's Fall
by Poldon19

The youthful eye aims high,
for the small and rounded stone is set;
a tiny, pale hope that lies within the band.
A flick. The swing and the push
that send this force toward a fiend of old.
The thousand eyes that watch this flight;
a bold venture into futures yet unknown.
The strike, the soundless cry.
A delving into death itself
from which the cracks now web.
A new life begins to root and rips the ice
in which an eternity was paid.
A blast that beats the drum,
a shower of the broken fear,
a chorus of joy resounds;
the enemy lies defeated.

Beyond the walls the sun-touched air awaits
with caressing scents of green and life.
Those from above come now to befriend
and fresh foes arise to challenge the will.
But, though a new found life abounds,
the world is not as memory tells.
The echoes of a past unseen,
when none could walk the lands of light
still haunt, but will not stop the beating heart.
Dauntless now we choose to step forth,
for long at last has life been brought
to our frozen tomb in the dark.

Armin The Bori
by X_xthoughtlessx_x

The adventures of Armin the Bori
Started off in this winter-themed story:
He explored with Hannah 
The mysterious ice caves,
For adventure and discoveries 
Are what this team craves.

Armin loves the beauty of winter --
The icicles, the breeze, and the snow.
He may be small but he is also brave,
And is fearless from head to toe.

Armin and Hannah’s friendship blossomed,
This pair is like none other.
Their adventures bring them closer together,
Like a bond between sister and brother.

Armin is considered an unlikely hero,
For his bravery and tactic at the Bringer.
With his strategy of a rock and a slingshot
Along a clever-timed pull with his finger.

A Bori Hero
by Kelly_d60

The Bringer of Night,
a threat to all.
Every Bori in plight
in Ice Caves hall.

Awakened from long sleep,
he looms a threat,
chains no longer keep.
A challenge Armin met.

The smallest of heroes,
slingshot in hand.
It was bravery he chose,
neither magnificent nor grand.

Despite the odds he knew,
he pulled the slingshot back,
and aims, straight and true,
as the dangers stack.

He concentrates and fires,
small stone through the air.
A perfect shot he acquires,
of accuracy praised and rare.

The Bringer defeated,
all Bori full of thanks.
The evil has fled.

Thanks to Armin,
a Bori hero.
