Author's Notes: This semester, I signed up for a creative writing class... and when I'd finished my assignment for a ballad, I decided I wanted to try another one. But just for fun. So I ended up writing about my neopets. ^_^
I've got a couple half-finsihed almost-stories about them, too... Depending on what people think of this one, I might put them up.
Enjoy!
==================================
Five months ago I got my first--
A koi named Devlinmaise.
I have him still; he's wry and rude
And will not change his ways.
He's out all night to play at Cheat
And lose at placing bets.
He's never won at Solitaire
And makes me pay his debts
But when I didn't know the ropes,
And he was just a child,
He stayed nearby and learned with me
Through times both dark and mild.
My second was a blumaroo,
Both spirited and bright.
And though Flumbugly's sweet to me,
She thinks she's always right.
Flum fights in the battledome,
No matter what I say,
And though she seldom wins the match
She loves it anyway.
She's sure that Devi's lazy, cause
He can't do chores with fins,
And swears he really cheats at Cheat
Because he always wins.
I named my third pet Senseni-
He loves to run and play.
But wagging tails of zafaras
Are often in the way.
He loves our stoneware kitchen and
Loves every kind of pie;
He guards our chocolate at night
So ghosts don't stop on by.
He calls Flum his big sister and
He thinks she knows it all,
And whenever Seni asks her
They go to play deckball.
He talks to Dev at night sometimes,
When card games all are done,
And Devi brings him candy with
The np that he's won.
The baby is a shoyru, and
He's quiet, smart, and shy;
Kerwyne would rather read his books
And let the world go by.
He just adores his usukis,
And dresses them each day
With braided hair and pretty clothes
Before he starts to play.
He's admired Flum as clever since
She taught him how to read;
She brings him usukis if there's
A set that he might need.
He doesn't much like Devi and
His constant, taunting calls-
He made Ker cry the time he said
That only girls play dolls .
He thinks that Seni's hyper days
Don't seem to ever cease;
In Kerwyne's mind, he's good at heart
But hazardous to peace.
And so we pass each day in stride,
And sometimes there are fights
And words are said that aren't meant
That lead to sleepless nights.
But mostly life is neggs and toys,
And restocks, ice chests, dreams...
And living in Neopia
Is everything it seems.
I've got a couple half-finsihed almost-stories about them, too... Depending on what people think of this one, I might put them up.
Enjoy!
