Let's write some riddles!

Provider, devourer,
A double-edged blade.
Man he has tamed her,
Accepting this trade.
Ravenously hungry,
Must all the time feed.
Yet drink she must not,
This can kill her indeed.

[sblock]The crest/foam on top of a wave in the ocean? Seems TOO obvious...[/sblock]

Nope.

Provider, devourer,
A double-edged blade.

Ravenously hungry,
Must all the time feed.
Yet drink she must not,
This can kill her indeed.

[sblock]Fire seems to be a common riddle subject. There was a riddle earlier about something needing to feed but never drink.[/sblock]

Here's an ancient riddle:

Whelm over wave, a weird thing I saw:
Water turned to bone.​

This one's driving me crazy! The thing that springs to mind is [sblock]"ice", or perhaps "iceberg".

But I'm really not sure. I can think of a handful of other answers, especially depending upon how that first line is interpreted.[/sblock]

Correct.

What have I got in my pocket?


5. It occurs once in every minute
Twice in every moment
And yet never in one hundred thousand years.


6. Round she is, yet flat as a board
Altar of the Lupine Lords.
Jewel on black velvet, pearl in the sea
Unchanged but e'erchanging, eternally.


And one to start an argument:
7. Twice four and twenty blackbirds
Sitting in the rain.
I shot and killed a quarter of them.
How many do remain?

My guesses:

Lint.

5. I'll go with

Spoiler

the letter "m"

6. I'll go with

Spoiler

the moon

7. This one seems to have two answers, depending on whether you interpret it as "(twice four) and twenty" or "twice (four and twenty)", so I'll go with

Spoiler

21

or

Spoiler

36

7. The answer is: [sblock]edited after TarionzCousin's hint: 7 or 12 (depending on how you do the math) - only the dead ones remain, the rest fly away.[/sblock]
