Let's try something different and play a game

Blog Posted:12/31/2020 4:19:00 AM

Guess my fictional Character and soupmail me your answer. If you guess it correctly then you get to leave the next clue. Please make your clue a nice catchy rhyme, this should be a lot of fun. I made it easy so every one can participate.

Let’s have a little game and see how you do.

Guess my riddle with each hidden clue.

I walk on all fours but fly through the air.

I’m a fictional character and I have brown hair.

I’m on a team but not on a list.

I can point and kick but I can’t make a fist.

I have two horns to help clear the way.

I’m really fast but allergic to hay.

That last clue comes from a poem I wrote.

If you come to my home it won’t be by boat.

I’m not in the front and I’m not in the rear.

Now guess my name and be perfectly clear.

Are you Rudolph? But wait. Did you leave off the nose because it is too obvious? Hmmm. Maybe you are a flea with a wig and hooves? Happy New Year Mark

When it comes to riddles she's no rookie / Some poets will say Jenna was lucky / Well I disagree / The thing is you see/ Our Jenna's one helluva smart cookie./ (Your comment inspired me Mark lol)

Mark Koplin
Date: 12/31/2020 7:10:00 PM

Mark Koplin
Date: 12/31/2020 9:55:00 AM

It’s a name that we all know. Think of Christmas and think of snow.

Joseph
May

Date: 12/31/2020 8:36:00 AM

Jenna
Logan

Date: 12/31/2020 5:04:00 AM

I hope this catches on, Mark. It would be nice for community poets to have fun together, doing something positive.

Mark Koplin
Date: 12/31/2020 5:16:00 AM

That’s exactly my intention. I made it an easy one so lots of people can guess it. The real fun will be coming up with good rhyming clues.

Mark
