What Are Poem Riddles?
Poem riddles are simply riddles
in the form of poems. Here are a few good examples, followed
by the solutions further down.
1. A Hoard Of Rings
A hoard of rings am
I,
but no fit gift for a bride;
I await a sword's kiss.
********
2. Measured In Hours
(This type is also
sometimes referred to as a "what am I" riddle.)
My life can be measured
in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.
What am I?
********
3. Flowers Of Fire
(This one should be
relatively easy.)
Screaming, soaring
/ seeking sky
Flowers of fire / flying high
Eastern art / from ancient time
Name me now / and solve this rhyme
********
4. Cannot Be Seen
(This Riddle Poem is
by J.R.R. Tolkien.)
It cannot be seen,
cannot be felt
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
********
5. A Harvest
A harvest sown and
reaped on the same day
in an unplowed field,
which increases without growing,
remains whole though it is eaten within and without,
is useless yet the staple of nations.
