A warrior amongst the flowers, he bears a thrusting sword.
He uses his life to defend his golden hoard.
What is he?

i think thats a bee.

Quote:

We capture light, and yet we don't.
We reflect rays of sun, and yet we don't.
Without us all the world is gray and dull.
What are we?

i think thats colour.

Quote:

Until I am mesured,
I am not known.
Yet how you miss me,
When I have flown.
What am I?

i think that may be life.

We've already been through the originally posted list several times. We're doing other riddles now.

Two windows which are way up high
Face North, South, East, and Weat.
Opening them lets in no air,
But light shines in them best.

Melephelwen · 06-23-2002, 07:26 AM

Eyes? Probably not, just wanted to try [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Melephelwen · 06-24-2002, 02:50 AM

Geez! I was right!?!? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
Well, I can't think of any, and I'm leaving in 10 minutes, so if anyone wants to make a riddle, you're welcome!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 06-24-2002, 12:00 PM

Well, Pippintook_0 got mine right, and he never posted a riddle, so let's let him post one.

Susan Delgado · 06-27-2002, 12:36 AM

I don't think PippinTook0 is watching this thread anymore, so I will ask one.

You can see me, though you're blind.
Light shines but dispels no darkness.
Touch me and I live,
But if you're touched I die.

Susan Delgado · 06-30-2002, 08:38 AM

Come on, people. Did we abandon the N&N riddle threads only to forget this one as well?

Grendel · 06-30-2002, 11:36 AM

I reckon/

1 fish
2 bee
3 plants (perhaps flowers)
4 time
5 sunrays or sunlight
6 fear
7 river
8 snowflake (possibly)

Grendel · 06-30-2002, 11:41 AM

My guess at that last riddle's answer is "reason"

Veritas · 07-01-2002, 11:25 AM

Well Susan, I really want to post an answer, but I've got none. This one is really difficult. But I dont really get the second sentence, it sais something about I or You?

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-01-2002, 04:34 PM

Is it depression?

Susan Delgado · 07-01-2002, 06:56 PM

I checked to make sure, and I did copy it out of the book correctly. It is neither Reason nor Depression.

A hint: don't take it completely literally

Amanaduial the archer · 07-03-2002, 01:19 PM

heehee methinks pippin_took0 cud be kinda annoyed here....hes a she! and she doesnt really go on anymore, its her sis who goes on her account more now.
*sob* i never got a go when i got one right *sob*
mind if i have one now?

There was a green house.
Inside the green house there was a white house
Inside the white house there was a red house.
Inside the red house there were lots of babies."

Susan Delgado · 07-04-2002, 09:21 PM

Is it a watermelon? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer · 07-05-2002, 10:40 AM

god ure all too good! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] yep watermelons right. ure turn!

07-05-2002, 04:44 PM

this one is kinda old so you guys probably know it but what the hey...

What is more powerful than God,
more evil than the devil,
if you eat it, you die,
poor people have it,
and rich people want it?

Susan Delgado · 07-05-2002, 09:18 PM

Nothing.

What about mine?

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-07-2002, 03:40 PM

Susan, it was your turn anyway, so why don't you post one?

I've had this one sitting up there for over a week; here it is again.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-10-2002, 01:05 PM

I s it love or something like that?

Susan Delgado · 07-11-2002, 11:46 PM

Good answer, but not quite right

Amanaduial the archer · 07-14-2002, 01:54 PM

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! that riddle is driving me mad! and anyhting i may have guessed already has been! its mainly the last line which is hard...

Amanaduial the archer · 07-14-2002, 02:15 PM

right fine my little sister had asked me and has been continually asking me since she saw this last wekk if i cud post her answer. is it magic?

Melephelwen · 07-20-2002, 03:23 AM

Hullo, Susan?? Anyone out there?
Oh, btw, is it faith? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rosa_Baggins · 07-20-2002, 05:29 AM

I have one.

Cannot be wounded by dagger or knife,
but to can also safe your life,
Can burn, can scolder, can soothe, can kill,
Can be found in forest, wood and hill,
Dies in sun but lives quit near,
Can show with that of just a tear.
What I am?

Kettle of fish · 07-20-2002, 08:34 AM

water?

Rosa_Baggins · 07-21-2002, 09:16 AM

Well done, Kettle of Fish!That is right!

Rosa_Baggins · 07-21-2002, 09:43 AM

got another one people.Not a rhyming one*gasp* oh well :P.

A white dove flew down by the castle. Along came a king and picked it up handless, ate it up toothless, and carried it away wingless.

Amanaduial the archer · 07-26-2002, 02:51 PM

that sounds rather gruesome! wingless birds...

Susan! Tell us please!

Susan Delgado · 07-27-2002, 12:20 PM

Hmm. Forgot about this thread. None of the answers I've been given are correct though. Would you like a hint?

Amanaduial the archer · 07-28-2002, 03:50 PM

so this is what it feels like to go mad...

a hint? yes tell tell.....

Susan Delgado · 07-28-2002, 03:52 PM

heh heh

Ok, it usually, but not always, is associated with night-time

Amanaduial the archer · 07-28-2002, 03:54 PM

so this is what it feels like to go mad...

is it darkness?

Susan Delgado · 07-28-2002, 03:55 PM

nope

Amanaduial the archer · 07-29-2002, 09:20 AM

the moon? (yes i know the last line doesnt really work)

Susan Delgado · 07-30-2002, 07:51 AM

Don't take it quite so literally. It's mostly metaphorical.

raci · 07-30-2002, 10:20 AM

8 = a cloud. (Duh)
Sometimes the blatently obvious is right. A cloud holds rain, a land would die without rain... Do u see where i'm going with this? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer · 07-31-2002, 10:12 AM

hang on raci...which one is number 8?

Rosa_Baggins · 08-05-2002, 07:07 AM

Has anyone guessed my one yet?? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
If no guesses it ill give you you answer later
love
