Ogrin Day Special

The Ogrin Master
by miraday

The mist in the mountaintop
Is pierced by the morning sun.
While others in Shenkuu doze, the
Ogrin Master’s day has begun.

He descends from his home
Down the cliffs before sunrise.
His blindness is not inhibiting
For he can see without sight.

He meditates in the morning
Underneath a large waterfall.
He is one with his surroundings,
Hyperaware, collected and calm.

His senses are sharpened, and
He arrives at the dojo by noon.
He trains the fighters with patience—
To perfect their Top Chop soon.

Next, he coaches Princess Terrana,
Watching her cliff-scaling technique.
She climbs skyward with grace-
With his help, she reaches the peak.

For supper, he visits his friend Linae
And plays a round of Kou-Jong.
He feels the tiles every round,
And calls winning moves before long.

At sunset, his white hair looks gold
As he returns to the dojo to mentor
The young Neopets in attendance
Who wish to become warriors.

He pauses at the Lunar Temple
On his return home in the evening.
Though blind, he knowingly says,
“It’s a half moon that is waning!"

The Chocolate Ogrin, Never Food
by _brainchild_

The Chocolate Ogrin, oh so grand,
Is beautiful---he's sweet.
No better candy graces land---
It's such a lovely treat.

The frosting globs atop his tail
And ears must taste divine!
This fluffy food I must inhale---
I'd love to make it mine.

Ahead I sneak, yet not a bite
Is what I take away.
The Ogrin, angry, wants to fight!
He's growling in dismay.

As hungry as I am, I'm never
Satisfied. Desire
Of eating chocolate isn't clever---
Feelings turn to fire.

Adopt an Ogrin
by ssj1_gotunks

An Ogrin is a guy who
talks a lot of talks
and walks a lot of walks.

Always busy and on the move
half skipping, half singing
just don't mess up his groove.

An Ogrin is a gal who's
temper is legendary
and thinks it's fun to be contrary.

Loves to study and ask hard questions
like, "Who am I?" and "Is life just a dream?"
those are, after all, her latest impressions.

An Ogrin is outgoing
deep down inside
but you'd never know it as crowds make them hide.

Exploring lots of places
collecting, writing, and compiling
they'll add it to their databases.

An Ogrin is a great friend
through thin and thick
for any situation, they have a card trick.

Don't they sound like just the best?
this hasn't been exaggerated, really
just adopt one now and be impressed!

Ogrin Weaponry
by anjie

Like emerald fire, sword blade swings,
The weapon, flawless made.
Ogrin crafted, wielded too,
The sword of brilliant jade.
For none craft as the Orgin do,
(Though few would dare suspect!)
But shields and swords of finest form,
Should brave folk dare inspect.

The Jade Slingshot of Ogrin held,
Aloft where battle roars.
With every stone flung from its grasp,
It meets the mark and scores.
But nary does the foe fight back,
For should they try, beware,
The matching shield is strong defence,
For those who seek to dare.

The helmet sits with flawless form,
Atop the Orgin crown.
No wonder creatures are known as,
Such beasts of great renown.
For they do craft with what they fight,
The weapons that strike awe.
Leading Ogrin to the field,
As legends of each war.

There like lightning formed of jade,
They strike and parry quick.
Striking fear in every foe,
With sheen of sword’s fast flick.
For nothing does instil such fear,
Nor brings such brutal fright,
As those who hold the Ogrin sword,
And to the end, they fight.

Ode to an Ogrin's Tail
by flufflepuff

Such grandeur held behind one's back,
a quiet dignity
that's bowed halfway to its furred end
for almost none to see. 

The tufted, tasseled, tender tip 
lends more than what's first seen. 
Concealed emotion is revealed
and picked up by the keen 
eyes of those who know Ogrin. 
Even so, the tail
can be one with its owner, 
for it cannot fail 
to give a rapid wiggle when 
great joy is to be felt.
Much like a petpet or a child, 
'twould make its viewer melt. 

However, more than looking cute,
or telling how one feels, 
an Ogrin's tail, despite its place, 
has important ideals. 
It isn't easy to maintain 
an equilibrium
of force on all four feet at once.
Therefore, the tail does thrum 
with energy and constant work 
to ensure, for good, 
the balance of its master 
and remain misunderstood.

Eventide Ogrin ~ Happy Ogrin Day!
by frostiepompom

Eventide Ogrins, oh, what a sight!
Their beautiful fur lights up the night.
The wonderful blue, fades away into red,
It glows so bright, it's hard to rest your head.

Their feet, so bright and sunny,
And all of those jokes they make - Ooh, they're funny!
The cute little red-yellow tail,
They'll make you love them - and they never fail!

And those sparkling stars, at the top,
Just like an angel on a tree.
Eventide Ogrins are all so pretty,
And they're also so special to me!

Happy Ogrin Day!

Ogrin Plushie
by indulgences

Tattered, threadbare, needing care,
This plushie stares at you.
Will YOU be someone special who
Will love it through and through?

The hair atop its shabby head
Is orange yarn that’s frayed.
Perhaps you ought to comb it straight,
And weave it into braids.

Its feet are covered with green cloth,
With holes where ground has rubbed.
Please pick it up, protect its feet,
And squeeze it in a hug.

Its eyes are shiny, large and bright,
But sadly cracked and chipped.
Please paint them with enamel glaze,
And let them dry (not drip!).

And finally, its Ogrin muff
Is fuzzy, wild, unkempt.
Please pat it into place by hand,
Until the toy’s content.

This plushie is adorable,
And wants your love and care!
Please pick it up and bring it home
Before it rips or tears!

The Grin Of The Ogrin
by dortho

There once was an Ogrin, 
Who was very small. 
All day he dreamed,
Of being very tall. 

Just a young one who could hardly stand, 
While his little hoofs would just slip on the sand. 
He sullenly held his head down low, 
While he hoped that soon he would grow.

He could see an apple up in a tree, 
If he could finally reach it, how glorious that would be! 
Muscling all his strength and balance, too, 
Finally, it's about time he grew! 

With his new height, no longer needing to fight, 
He lept right up as if he'd just taken flight! 
Landing safely with the apple, what a win! 
And enjoyed his healthy snack with an Ogrin grin.
