I'm as happy as a lark
Solving riddles in the dark.
But a feeling uncomfortable:
Am I the one that's lunchable?

(I will post another soon
Think of one... about the moon?)

Mind if I make a suggestion?
When answering your riddle question
I think that all should have to write
In rhyme! I hope this isn't trite...
But just for fun, I hope you will.
(Sorry, I don't have Becca's skill...)

I'm not sure how to play this game...
but i'll try just the same...

how about leftovers in the fridge?
if that's not it...i'll hide under a bridge...

may i answer this riddle you please?
may i ask, if you wish for cheese?

I think that would be rather scary;
A riddle-solving peice of dairy?

Will CC ever return?
I want the answer now!
I think we have the answer earned...
How can you deny us? How?!

Argh! Someone tell me the answer - now!
Or else I'm going to "Have a Cow"!

If you have a cow !
well have to stop what where doing now!

Stop? No that's to bad.
I think many people won't be glad.
Pim is my name, and I love this game
But forget the name, and show me some aim!

Hey guys, are you still alive?
Otherwise,this topic won't survive!
Or do I have to do this by my own?
I don't know how to clone!
So let u're mind do a brainstorm
It works good, during a rainstorm!

we're still alive..
just can't get an answer

yes yes we are alive'
alive we are I say'
how much more can we do?
do to make this post survive'.

Alive alive in this dive..oh well it's better than a bee hive. Let's keep it on on and on until the dawn....giggling away like Goldie Hawn..

Pardon please for the delay;
And good idea, Sam, by the way.
I have no other riddle ready;
But this one is about unsteady
Bilbo when he was in the cave
Solving riddles his skin to save.

Give me but a few minutes more
And I will point to a new door...

This is the door;
One riddle more:

There really is no need to fear me
It is just bad publicity.
And though I am most often shown
As a traitor and alone
I really live in a pack
And honor I do not lack.

A wolf? Or is that too simple...

A wolf? Is that too simple? I'm
Editing this so it will rhyme.

Lilac dreams on the catastrophic pillow
Dwindling branches from a metallic willow
Lively flakes mingle on a pastel canvas
Branches boast like gold and brass
The ground painted in utter silence
Drifting cumbersome and dense

Sam is right, I say.
(And I would know, anyway.)
As I know not the 'night's rhyme,
I'll not add another at this time.

My first is in peace, but not in dove;
My second in heart, but not in love;
My third is in read, but not in book;
My last is in spy, but not in look.
Don't carry on about it - just have fun
There are no red "herrings" in this one.

How am I supposed to try
To guess at answers in a rhyme?
I write mainly in free verse.
You now turn me into reverse.
I think that Sam means part of a dead hare
But at me so lost you probably stare.
Let me try: peace is piece
Heart is hart
Read is red
Spy is . . . I do not know.
But a part of a bloody rabbit is all I can show.
Can you tell I am of morbid mind?
My sanity you will not find.
Now I think I'll end this rhyme.
I digress to infinite time.

Sorry, but you're way off track. Look at the letters in each word.
It's an older method of riddle making... slightly "fishy", and quite absurd.

i must try another time
my mother yells down the stairs
she has no patience for my rhyme
i have no more room for getting busted
she will kick me out of the house
and you'll get no more rhyme of mine

words i come up with when i take letters from the first
that do not exist in the last:
chap
ahas
pray
prep
prey
no other real words i found
i am not sure how to go on
none of these make any sense
but then i merely took a chance
have i gone astray again?
i'm up for trying yet again

You are on the right track, but have been a bit slack.
There is another word in there. Go back.

A four letter word is it
Unless I miss my guess.
Yet I am unready to commit;
One more hint? Please? Yes?

If you read it carefully
There are already three hints for you to see...
Re-read again, and you should be
Getting on quite "swimmingly"...

It's carp! I got it!
It's the references to fish
That told me.
It escapes me
How I missed that one
I thought I'd done
Every possibility.
At last it's "carp" I see!
Took me long enough.
Do I get a prize for one this tough? ; )

Nicely done!
Another one?

My first is in labor, but not in work.
My second in idiot, but not in jerk.
My third is in clover, but not in flower;
My last is in minute, but not in hour.
Think carefully or you won't score at all...
We'll soon see if you're on the ball.

I think it has to do with sports
That seems to me the best report
But I'm not sure exactly what
I almost thought it a simple one
I'll get back to you on that
Right now I terribly miss my cat.
Trust me that I'll solve this one.
I won't give up; this is too much fun.

I am rather too lazy to write in rhyme
I find it so difficult to make the time
Is your answer 'love' (which is no score at all)
Or am I a million miles off of the ball?

I have a second guess for the group,
could it be "live" or should i just sip my soup?

CaptainHero lives up to his name!
Someone want to start a new game?

My first is in point but not in line
My second in his but not in mine
My third is in stop but not in stun
My fourth in shoot but not in gun
My last is in more but not in less
caedes provides the best clues for this - guess!

I know it... :-)

Aha! I see that one has guessed,
Samatar must be "riddle-blessed"
He hasn't shared it yet however,
So there's still time to prove you're clever!

If I could prove,
without a doubt,
the things I thought
a lot about!
Then you might see,
as others do,
My brains gone mushy!
A soupy stew!

It can't be done,
from where I sit,
to solve your rhyme,
and be done with it!

I'm sorry that my answer sux,
but as you can see I'm not the dux!

That is Ok, my caedes friend,
for many read, (but no posts send.)
At least you had a try today,
but it can be done I have to say.
You need a little time, is all...
a pencil paper and some gall!
So think on it and maybe later
you'll outsmart this instigator!

Mythica: Don't give up yet!
This one is a snap to get...
I have nothing else to say;
Don't want to give the game away.

Samatar - I have to say,
You didn't give the game away!
Though within your riddles,
I did find, a clue though small,
for peace of mind!

To 42, you clever one!
You almost fooled me 42mum! (<-poetic licence )
But as you wrote,
and I did read,
a pad and pen
is all you need!

So that I did,
and answer got,
my lips are sealed,
for the other lot!

well done Myth'
You've got the drif'
when this one's done
your turn for one!

Well..here we are fans,
I've one for you!

Thinking caps on?
now read it through!

My first is in truck but not in tip
My second is in park but not in peek
My third is in friend but not in foe
My fourth is in picnic but not in lunch
My last is in romance but not in nice

Now its your turn -
don't dissappoint,
A race to the finish
and winner annoint! (Don't freak out - it had to rhyme!)

Now listen up here everyone,
We are have ing too much fun!
Mythica, that one was hard
You are as peotic as a bard...
(Unlike myself, whose poems stink...)
But I -have- worked it out... I think...
Maybe you can enlighten me;
Do I have the right frequency?

Listen here, I think I know,
I feel I have the answer - so,
If put mine with what you've got,
(we wouldn't really have a lot)
but what we'd have would be alright
- we could upload to caedes' site!
Would that make Marconi happy,
His idea loud as life - (and snappy?)

Both Sam and Mum,
have worked it out!
Lets get a mike,
and give a shout!

To those of you,
who've yet to try,
get out your pens,
before they dry!

Take down this rhyme,
Don't waste a sec!
It wont take long,
you'll hit the deck...
if you don't check,
this quiz in time!!!!

I think I would just go "huh?"
If a rhyme could be found (duh).
Mind if I post another riddle?
Or should I just go play a fiddle?

post another rhyme,
don't waste my time.
i'm way off track
but don't be slack.
have some fun
but don't be dumb
or youll find youve broken your thumb(hehehe)

To answer these riddles for those who can't guess,
The words that were hidden I'll have to confess.
The first (a good one for this site) was photo
The next sounded better: its name - "radio"

It seems such a shame,
to end the game here!
Does anyone have,
a riddle to share?

If by some chance,
we few who have spoken,
continue the game,
a link's then not broken!

So come hither young riddle,
oh where do you hide?
Are you lurking, or smirking?
Our interest deride?

My first is in punch, but not in hit
My second in spasm, but not in fit;
My third is in little, but not in small
My fourth in paddle, but not in oar.
My fifth is in error, but not in wrong
My last is in stetched, but not in long.
Solve this riddle and you may find
A way to leave your troubles behind...
Don't take to long, though, or you may
Not get anything else done today.

architects, designers too,
would like your riddle...as do you.
artists, students, surfers all
gaze into this crystal ball.
This gentle chiding I must make,
as solving did but moments take.

g!

Now dear friend,
I have for you,
A new type of riddle,
and here’s your clue,
as before,
the words you find,
it takes some thought,
now use your mind!
When word one, and two
you find,
that’s not all!
these words combine!
The letters are in order not,
you must find the third
hot shot!

word one…

My first is in pixel, but not in paste.
My second is in apple, but not in cider.
My third is in crop, but not in circle.
My fourth is in heater, but not in warmth.
My fifth is in love, but not in hate.

Now for the second word…

My first is in woman, but not in man.
My second is in cradle, but not in cot.
My third is in sherpa, but not in guide.
My fourth is in slipper, but not in glass.

So that is all you get for now,
Don’t spoil the fun
and print the answer!
Just drop a clue
when you know how!

Although I am a clever dude
I think this is rather rude!
You are being mean to us!
After all, I'm not a genius...

Therefore, I appeal to you
Give me just a little clue...

(please?!?!)

I have to say,
dear Samatar,
you look for clues,
so here they are!

The riddle works,
the same you see,
as other riddles
done by me!

The first and second
words you get,
then 2 words
you have to vet...

Jimble-Jumble
9 letters so,
until a third
begins to show!

I think I've worked the answer out
If not, be sure to give me a shout
The first word I think you may find on the breast
Of a suit or a coat, when you're smartly dressed
The second could be what you do to a gift
(or alternatively what Kirk might do with his ship)
These words mixed together will give us the the answer:
You hang it on the wall and hope it doesn't peel after!

[apologies for the appalling rhyme]

Captainhero, I am in awe
of your riddle solving, that's for sure.
You helped me save alot of time!
(Although I agree about the rhyme...)

Its so much fun to read such verse,
I'm almost tempted to do worse.
The groans and gasps such rhymes evoke
make Shakespeare seem a tawdry bloke.
Although no riddle now have I
I couldn't help (as I passed by)
to share amusment at your work
keep posting - yep - just go beserk!

A thousand eyes with which I see
A million ears posessed by me
I give you life, and when you're gone
My life shall continue on.
Come on now and don't be shy
Take a stab. Guess. Who am I?

could line one, though just a fable,
relate unto a veg-et-able?

You mean like a potatoe? Good guess...
But sorry, I cannot say yes.

I thinking something like the wind
But on eyes and ears it does not depend.
I'm sorry I have no guess, my friend.

Too few clues? Then here's another
Many know me as their mother...

Could it be..?
I'm just not sure...
A feminine name,
passed down in lore.

This name given,
not like the rest,
rhymes with tyre,
is this guess best???

I don't think your guess is right
Rhymes with tyre? Feminine?
I suggest that you have just
Added another riddle to mine!

I think that Mythica has thought
about a name that you know nowt.
In ancient times the name of Gaia
was revered... a globe... "provider"
So Samatar please help us out,
Is the answer "round" and "stout"?

"Round" is right. "Stout"? Not sure...
Maybe you need to think some more...

The World at large? Or nature?
Or is my guess too premature?

Correct. The one that gives life birth
The world, or if you like, the earth.

Yippee I had the answer right
"stout" I guess was not so bright.
full of figure - rotund indeed,
better paints the earth 3D(ed)

The next riddle here be told
The answer be not found in gold
Nor silver, nor jewel, nor pretty thing
And no, it will not be a ring.
But all these things the answer has
A worm it is also known as.

This is not fair,
my brain is old
I need a clue
to be told.
I've tried and tried!
It stays unknown!
I cannot solve this
on my own!

The answer, too, is old and olde.
But easy 'twould be for a dwarf to unfold
For they were attacked by one of these
That flew over the mountain and burned the trees.

is it a dragon???

An answer here,
I dare to post,
could like a wraith,
it be a ghost???

Dragon is correct, unrhyming one.
Another riddle I'll make for fun.

I hatch from an egg,
But am no bird.
I live with a wizard,
And spells I herd.

No more will I say,
For fear of a give-away.

this riddle is-hard
could it be a liz-ard?

I fear that this riddle will not be guessed
But another clue will I suggest.

A type of dragon it is
And one wizard lost his.
It has a barbed tail
And lived when ale
Was the popular drink.
No more clues can I think.

I've had enough!
Is this dragon Puff?

Barbed tail huh? Erm... a Stegosaurus?!?!?

Ahh, I thought no one could
Guess what they would
Find the answer lost -
A wyvern was tossed.

It is time for something new
And to see the sky so blue
To see the beauty of the flowers
And get lost in all God's powers.
To guess the answer needs no whiz
Can you say what it is?

Is this a northen hemisphere thing?
could it be that you refer to spring?

Correct you are, mum42.
The next riddle should be posted by you.

My first is in BALL, but not in GAME,
my second in INJURE though never in MAIM.
My third's found at EASTER but not in an EGG,
my fourth likes to CATCH but does not like to PEG.
My last is at HOME but not any MORE,
...my name is a pleasure us Aussies adore.

That shore was an easy one!
But I won't give the answer and ruin the fun.

{Well Sam, you are right, keep your answer at bay,
("We breed 'em smart Down Under", I say!)
Those antipodeans that read what Sam "writ",
please keep your responses off-line for a bit!
I'm hoping that someone from off over-seas
Can give a swell answer! So "pretty please",
I don't want this posting flooded with clues,
Then the enjoyment of solving they'll lose.}

Northerners all come out of your shell,
cast your mind south to Australia as well.
Look at the riddle, and then you'll begin
to find that the answer will slowly sink in.

I believe the answer right quickly I found.
Should I post or wait for others to come round?

I think to be fair some time should elapse
between your reply and some others, perhaps!
(Because you're so clever!)

my answer may be way out of reach,
but I'll make a guess, is it "beach" ?

You are too bright -
You are quite right!

You will often find them on the coast.
Seamstresses require them.
Politicians don't seem to have them.
Some consider them rude.

What are they?

I've read this riddle three times now,
and I seem set to "have a cow".
I can't think straight late at night,
So I'll be back when it is light.
In the meantime if it's done,
I hope you make another one!

I've played with every word I know,
to do with coasts and ebb and flow.
I've thought of sewing, stitch and thread,
As I lay tossing in my bed.
Sleep didn't stop my deep confusion,
so I have come to this conclusion...
The answer in the spelling might
be where I'll find the answer, - Right?

It seems you don't get it; but don't go 'round the bend...
Your mind must be sharp for your torture to end.

Aha Aha!

I thought I'd take another look,
and your advice I calmly took.
I surfed round caedes, being nice,
comments, votes and in a trice
I knew that one more visitation
would lead to further inspiration.
So back I came to read your clues
and swiftly swept away my blues.
The answer now I have pinned down,
I wear a smile and not a frown!

A "point" is the answer that had me perplexed,
That one is solved, so here is the next!

I have a mouth but do not speak,
I have a bed but never sleep,

What am I?

My guess: A river or a stream.
Or are you trickier than you seem?

No, I'm simple, truth be told.
Your guess is right, this puzzles' old.

I'm so sorry to tell you this,
not meant as any diss.
But you all sound odd,
all peas in a pod.

What I would give,
to be able to live.
To join this game,
and earn a little fame.

Such a shame though,
not to be part of the show.
I have not the wit nor brain,
without going insane.

So Good day for now,
with this last bow.
Much fun it will be,
rhymes do tickle me.

^-- ten minutes it took
when I should be reading my book.
