Riddle Me This

[Otebon Albrecht]

Here's a poem riddle by Emily Dickinson


I am, in truth, a yellow fork
From tables in the sky
By inadvertent finers dropped
The awful cutlery
Of Mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The apparatus of the dark
To ignorance revealed


And if that is too easy, here's one of my own wording. I'm terrible at poems, so...


A symbol of beauty, I am soft and fragile
I reach for the sky, but others desire me
Take care when you touch me, for I draw blood
And then we will show the same colors.

hmm, I don't know about the last one, but the answer to the first one is lightning, or thunder...

[Otebon Albrecht]

Got the first one. I came across that one and thought it was pretty nice. Easy, but nice.

[Roxy Wolf]

the riddle you gave have bugged me all day! I need to find the answer to it... is it something that live? like a plant or animal, or is it more like a feeling?

[Otebon Albrecht]

It is a plant.


And (please forgive me for this) but it's pleasing to see you bugged by it.    I based the form of the riddle off of another, but I wrote it. It's making me happy that I created a riddle that's puzzling someone and isn't just a simple fix.

[Roxy Wolf]

hmm... so it is a plant that draws blood... that means you're looking for a specific race... I bet $10 on it that it's bug eater plant... so is it the Carnivorous?

[Otebon Albrecht]

You'd lose that bet Roxy. It's not a carnivorous plant, but it does draw blood. Focus on the last two lines...


"Careful when you touch me for I draw blood
And then we will show the same colors"


You're getting there! Don't give up!

[kivabunny]

the answer you seek is thorns on a rosebush is it not?

[Otebon Albrecht]

And WhiteWolf with the correct guess!


It is a rose. A rose has thorns that draw blood.

[kivabunny]

it is the movement of the sea
the largest mirror
the lovers light
the second sun
the one my kind cry to
what is it?
(i made it up myself but it dosent rhyme)

[Otebon Albrecht]

You are the master of waves, the sister of the sun.

You are surely the moon.

[kivabunny]

was it realy that easy?

[Otebon Albrecht]

For me, yes.


I love the moon...  ... and actually memorized a lot of trivia / riddles / etc about it. For example, there is a riddle in Greek mythology that ties the moon to a specific ring and ...


Now I'm babbling... And the riddle isn't good for this forum as you would need the ring itself to make any sense of the riddle.

[kivabunny]

i love the moon too

[Otebon Albrecht]

It is my favorite celestial object...


Here's another one...


Ripped from my mother's womb
Beaten and burned
I become a bloodthirsty killer
What am I?
