Let's write some riddles!

And well written. I had read your riddle the day before I posted my guess, and had had absolutely no idea at the time as to what it might be. Then, reading it again a day later, the answer just popped into my head. (I guess my subconscious played with it for 24 hours before passing me a cheat sheet.)

And I agree, wheat works better than corn, as the "gold" of the corn is still hidden inside the husks when it's in the field.

Alright, here is one I just made up for this thread. Mixed bag on if it is hard, I'll let the masses be the judge...

A blade that pierces but does not cut
A rope that binds but does bind shut
Countless thrusts until the foe is slayed
But upon completion none are ‘fraid.

The battle continues my savvy foe...

When I’m bored I break the grain
When I’m bound I halt the thread
When I am I cannot be
Until I speed across the sea

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]

[sblock]Wouldn't it just be easier to say "A quarter remain.'' Then you don't have to worry about the math.[/sblock]

WELL PLAYED, gentlemen (and women). This thread is actually making me feel pretty good because my players (who admittedly aren't good at and dislike riddles) usually couldn't solve them in a manner timely enough for gameplay. I rather enjoy when people solve my riddles so perhaps I make 'em easy, but they are hard to most people so I hope you feel some amount of triumph.

A holy tapestry woven in the night
Becomes my symbol; becomes my sight
And outstretched it collects my tithe
Idly, while the congregants writhe

 

[AeroDm]

Before my birth I am conceived
and grow and sprout both limb and leaves
until I’m brought to proper form
then idly I do adorn
till brilliant minds upon me find
a whim or dream or vision prime
and then my form is too complete
a mask I wear for all I greet

I am very much enjoying your riddles, AeroDM.
