Poetry à la Poptropica 🪶

LJ

Yo Poptropicans! LJ here with a new post. How are y’all today? (Read that intro again. It’s basically a haiku. 😉)

Waterfalls: Follow this stream of consciousness.

A haiku, in my own words, is a traditional Japanese poem made up of 17 syllables spread across three lines. The structure requires that the syllables are arranged in a particular format: the first line contains 5 syllables, the second line has 7, and the final line returns to 5.

I was feeling sort of poetic recently while also feeling nostalgic for Poptropica’s glory days as I pretty much always am, so I decided to manifest that energy and take the time to write a bundle of haikus. In case the poems don’t convey enough, I also included an aesthetic graphic for each one, all made by me. I hope you enjoy!

🍄 Scattering pieces 🍄
🍄 The sad loss of all magic 🍄
🍄 Heedless conquering 🍄

🌸 Elite ninja skills 🌸
🌸 Sakura and bonsai trees 🌸
🌸 Chaos in beauty 🌸

🧟 Rising from the grave 🧟
🧟 Exploring each spooky room 🧟
🧟 The party begins 🧟

🌌 A man turned cyborg 🌌
🌌 Trio of lost chevaliers 🌌
🌌 One epic battle 🌌

🍭 Gaggle of rugrats 🍭
🍭 Lots of sour surprises 🍭
🍭 Savor the sweet gifts 🍭

🎡 Cometh the funfair 🎡
🎡 Angst and dread loom over the city 🎡
🎡 Secrets are revealed 🎡

🐖 Earliest village 🐖
🐖 Help out the 8-bit pilgrims 🐖
🐖 Three missing items 🐖

⚡ Into the dream realm ⚡
⚡ Unravel threads of evil ⚡
⚡ A giant shocker ⚡

What are your thoughts? Poetry isn’t really my forte, and as far as I can recall, I’ve never written this many haiku in one go ━ so they might not be top-notch. Still, I had a blast creating them, and I may just write even more. If you’re feeling inspired, let your creativity flow and share your own Poptropica haiku in the comments! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Until next time…

Pop on! 🍀

Daily Pop Sneak Peeks, Sneak Peeks, Virus Hunter Island

How a bot a shaking virus, islandception, and dead captain?

Slanted Fish

The Poptropica Creators have hinted that we don’t have much longer to wait for Virus Hunter Island with this sneak peek animation of a twitching virus to keep us interested! Still don’t know the island release date yet, but it sounds like it’ll be really soon. It might even be the first island with full sound & music!

Now let’s take a look at some Daily Pop sneak peeks!

How a Bot That – Nobody told these guys about Asimov’s three laws of robotics.

Remember the earlier sneak peek of the battlemechs which might possibly be for the promised ‘battle arena’ of Legendary Swords? Well, how a bot this?

How a bot that

Operating System – When technology meets talent, anything is possible.

Designing a Poptropica island while on a Poptropica island? I call islandception!

Unfinished – Finishing this scene will be a phase 2 initiative.

Looks like the third location from the above ‘island design’ sneak peek. A happy scene set in stone. Now to put the rest of the colors in place…

Unfinished

Captains Courageous – Learning to appreciate poetry, one explication at a time.

‘It is some dream that on the deck / You’ve fallen cold and dead.’ So sad, so sad.

Higher Learning – Molding young minds for a brighter future.

At a university, perhaps studying poems like the one above?

Well how about that? What are you looking forward to most for the future of Poptropica? 🙂

Bonus Items, Store

Fire and Ice!

Golden Eagle

There’s been a new Creator’s Blog post, which Dr.Hare posted, and he even added some entertainment with it, a poem by the one and only, Robert Frost! What? You don’t know who he is? Well, take a gander at this page to find out. Anyway, back to the post.

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

He’s showing the new items in the Poptropica Store, the Torch and the Emotaloons!  You can check out our post on the Emotaloons here, and the Torch here.

I’m a credit-less deadbeat in Poptropica, so I can’t buy it. 😦

Oh well. Forget about the pain I have to go through not owning these awesome items and go buy them already, if you like them.

I leave you today with a picture of Mr.Frost.




Big Nate Island, Sneak Peeks

The Eve of Nabooti and a Big Nate Sneak Peek!

Slanted Fish

We’ve seen Big Nate in the Poptropica Tour video, now it’s time for a sneak peek to be in image format! The Poptropica Creators have given us our first image (picture) of Big Nate Island, as seen below:

Looks like detention for Nate! 😆

The Eve Nabooti Island

Twas the night before Nabooti, when all through the house
Every player of Poptropica held to their mouse
All eyes watched the screen with an impatient stare
In hopes that the new island soon would be there

Nabooti Island is expected to be released tomorrow! Get ready to trek across Africa to find missing jewels, and visit pyramids, ancient mines, and giant waterfalls on your quest! This’ll be one fun adventure! 😀

Also. Looks like Poptropica will be releasing Santa Hats on the release of Nabooti Island. Yay.
