Let's write some riddles!

[Merkuri]

Nope didn't google it. We did a few of those type of things in an AP class in HS

You got to do those in school? Awesome!

A box without hinges, clasp, or a lid but yet inside a golden treasure is hid.

Isn't that one used in The Hobbit? The answer, of course, is

Spoiler

an egg.

Right you are, Hussar. That is from the Hobbit...and yes, the answer is, of course - - - -.

This is GREAT! There are more riddles posted here now than I'd ever have time to use!

Thanks!

Let me try...

Endless its appetite,
Eats all it can,
Consuming field and home,
beast and man.
Endless its reach,
Seeks always to fly,
Leaping from wood and hill,
Reaching for sky.
Endless its temper,
Its fury untold,
Left unsated leaves naught,
All darkness and cold.

Kinda long to be so simple, I guess...but was fun for a first attempt.

I wrote up an article of two dozen rhyming riddles that was published in Dragon #271 ("Riddles of the Rhyming Sphinx"). I don't have the issue handy, but I can probably recall a few from memory:

You can find me on a human or a halfling or a gnome
You can find be in a glass of beer, with frothy, sudsy foam
You can find me in the cabbage patch, growing in the loam
What am I?

Man has but one, as does an elf
Woman has two, all by herself
But as for the mighty minotaur
He has not one, or two, but four
What am I?

Take each of the following, and so form a link:
The ocean, a sight-orb, a kind of a drink
To that add a question but one word in length
Then read me the answer, if your mind has the strength​

Right you are, Hussar.

*looks around* Did you just call me Hussar? Unless I accidentally put him on ignore I don't think he's posted in this thread yet.

I haven't figured out the other two yet but that one is

vowels

right

 

[steeldragons]

Quite correct, Johnathan.

I'd give you XP but I'm getting "spread some around"...

Was just staring at the one going in the fireplace and figured I'd give the riddle-making a whirl.

Looks like it's time for some new ones to be added.

1. No sooner spoken then broken. What am I?

2. Feed me and I live. Give me drink and I die. What am I?

3. This is light as a feather yet no man may hold it for long. What is it?

4. Cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be felt. It lies behind the stars and beneath the hills. What is it?

5. Walk on the living, they don't even mumble. Walk on the dead, they mutter and grumble. What are they?
