The Riddler

The RIDDLER

Riddles are all cracked up to be
I talk, I see and the best comes out of me
The summer shines rain over the sea
Given money, yet I take it back easily
I pay the price that comes for free
With an angle of 86.3 degrees
I gave, I took now I have more than three
Standing left on my right knee
How it came to this, I could not see
Reach in and touch what you can't reach
I slowly stung the heck out of a bee
Living to follow and fall to the Omega-He
I ask for coffee you pour me tea
I found a pebble smaller than the seed of a pea
A curse to  the one who can foresee

Life begins at the end of every war
Bleeding on the outside at the center core
Homebound in the ocean near the shore
The best fun comes out of being bored
I found an open box that was set to store
My dried up tears, long to hit the floor
Blocks in front of the old close door
A smile to give, I want more
Given to the rich from the poor
My heart is new, tired of being sore
A package of love and hate I give to you
We play the fool, he puppets the actor
A far stretch from the old days of a carnivore
I captured a RIDDLE in less than 50 lines
I'm the newest conquistador (A)

Quite a riddle, Linda!! Been trying to work it out in bits and pieces, but will have to come back to it again when my mind is clearer:) I take it that at an initial point you were referring to your children....Warm regards // paul

Hope you're going to give me a smile my Sweet Dark Friend. 'The best fun comes out of bore', hmmm, I always say "lets not be boring", you gotta have a bit of fun sometime, I think you said a lot in this. Anyway it's heads up and that is not a thing I would normally say ha ha. Take care, Richard

PD, thanks for my win in your recent contest. I love when we can show our old poems off! I had to post that older poem of mine since I have no poems in this month that are not for contests! I'm reading an old message chris gave you in 2010 here about Rhinem. So funny to see it.

Hey! Keep me posted. I will be away from computer but I can get e-mails. I hope I wasn't out of line last night. If I can't do an old classical form of poetry, can I protest to have it banned? Hahhahaa! I say step up, or step out. Atleast try to get better. Suckas' Would rather protest than get better. Any way I'll be in touch. And that is my email adress. L.L.

Brilliant! P.D. your imagery is truly captivating "I pay the price that comes for free" brings thoughts of mankind trying to resolve everything without the help of the Creator. The soul searching for answers that lead to true healing. What a feat to sting the heck out of a bee. "Living to follow and fall to the Omega-He" Alas, "We play the fool, he puppets the actor" Nothing to think of? LOL friend you've opened a box of lifes many contemplations/curiosities. Thanks for sharing the read
