Can drive a team toward victory
Or be whisked away summarily
Can be broken by tax and toil
Set apart from the mortal coil

Riddle of the Week from Oct 06 2024
Sometimes a man with only one
would say he's of a pair.
Sometimes you'll see them hanging,
awash in golden hair
Sometimes when you've many,
and all of them you wear
Your foe's blade might turn away
and your life be spared.

A pile of diamonds at your feet,
Bouncing crashing in the street.
The jeweler will not buy one.
Gift of sky, taken by sun.

Riddle of the Week from Sep 22 2024
A firefly I cannot catch
no matter what I try
He flickers soft and silent,
above me in the sky.
Mighty storms cause him no grief,
above them he abides
Yet now and then behind the moon
this firefly will hide.

Riddle of the Week from Sep 15 2024
Servants scatter to the winds,
dusting as they go.
Returning to their home,
put on a dancing show.
Attired in black and gold,
their lady they defend,
But woe to the defender,
to attack may mean her end.

Riddle of the Week from Sep 08 2024
A mirrored pair of crystal caves,
Its image on the Widow's skin.
Inhabited by desert slaves,
All of whom are trapped within.
As they tumble to their graves
Drawn down through a passage thin
A score and four the turns they make
Each time that the world spins.

Riddle of the Week from Sep 01 2024
A home where no one lives,
A home that stays unseen.
A home with just one door,
Oft hid beneath the green.
Sometimes a stone to show the way
Names and dates etched into gray.

Riddle of the Week from Aug 25 2024
He works on farms, but no farm hand,
Though hands might him describe.
Working hard but never plants
Wearing shoes but never pants.
Never helps to load the cart,
Yet pulls his weight, he does his part.

Riddle of the Week from Aug 18 2024
Though not a car or unicorn
In front I sometimes sport one horn
I'm not happy nor sharp as a tack
Yet might be tack on someone's back
Someone else might sit on me
And I will help this one to flee
But I can't help the one who flees
From his responsibilities

Two hands upraised
towards the sky
The night will end,
the day will die.

Riddle of the Week from Aug 04 2024
A foe 'gainst whom you sometimes race.
Seen upon your grandfather's face.
Separates the boys from men.
When you know it, you'll know when.

Riddle of the Week from Jul 28 2024
I have but one, though my cousins have two.
Rarely will see me, my folk are so few.
By nature elusive, from man I have strayed.
But he can tame me, by the hand of a maid.
