Riddles and Retail, Zeus's Unwanted Adventure
Zeus Carver, a shop owner so keen, Got dragged in a plot, quite obscene. With riddles and bombs, And McClane's loud psalms, "This day," he declared, "was unclean!" ©bfa032225 (Samuel L. Jackson in Die Hard 3) ...

The Art of Not Understanding Everything
Like moonlight on water, truth shimmers and bends, Each question I grasp at immediately ends In riddles more complex than those that came first— Some thirsts remain burning, though water is cursed. "If I drank, I'd die—if I didn't, I'd still die..." These dilemmas remain as the years shuffle by. I reach for you in crowded rooms, find only air, The stars...

Riddles of the Mind
What is seldom heard but never believed? What is constantly heard and always believed? What is not real but is everywhere you look? What is not there but felt by many? What cannot be held but many can possess? What is created in the darkness but hides in the light? What is born of shadow and fire but rebirth freedom? What...

Premium Member Ridiculous Riddles Trimeric
Rip currents of ridiculous riddles wet the chops of ink and parchment; A poet enjoys tea and berry jam-tarts, her pen tremors ‘We’re all mad here.’ Wet the chops of ink and parchment, visit the tempestuous Queen of Hearts; Feed your mind, milk her rose garden; A poet enjoys tea and berry jam-tarts drifting off into a golden afternoon; Teaspoons paddle a sea of...

Checkmate You Lose
Do you tremble, as the monstrous cadence, of the rhinoceros' stride reverberates, like the buffalo's onslaught? Vipers at the water's edge, darting hither and thither, not above but beneath the surface, their sinuous silhouettes fabric of nightmares, tearing sinew from skeleton, swifter than their colossal marine brethren. It carries weight, this significance, but how burdensome, must it be to crane necks heavenward, rather than cast them into the...

The waters of Lethe the tattooists ink Tracing over memory Replacing with fear of unknowable To have forgotten On the dead breath of terror Recognition sparse Piecing together a different picture That may indeed be the truth For what is felt May crush what was known Bathe in the waters, consume Wash away not memory but Residual fear Distrust Knowledge of never knowing Don't soothe me, I should...

Rids of Ridic Riddles
RIDS OF RIDIC RIDDLES Delusional convo with the inanimates; February bragged none of us is his mate ¹and asked, "What month of the year has 28 days?" -"All of them." I replied with a smirk on my face. Walls 'ave ears wit' handwriting on the wall, reading aloud what I heard and saw as I walk into a room that contains...

Premium Member Speaking of Riddles - Here's One
Fellow travelers, an itch I'd like to scratch with you: 'His corpse was riddled with bullets' is a real head-scratcher. Does it imply that either the corpse or the bullets were body-snatchers? I know. I know. I'm supposed to picture lots of bullet holes in his corpse. But why 'riddled?' What's the puzzle here? I...
