    In truth, it’s plain to see
    You are, but rarely are we

      This is a tough one, Zachary. My instinct is that the answer has to do with letters of the alphabet. Not sure which person is being referred to, the You (letter U) or the We (YO), but I’ll guess the latter.

      Really appreciate your sense of humor. I would say you are referring to the “light” which is plain and it is rare to match any other thing with that.

        Sorry, it’s not light. Try again though. I might give a hint though. The brevity makes it vague.

      Here’s a hint to get people guessing again, ignore the first line, it’s only meant to trip you up and to complete the rhyme.

      Congratulations to Caroline! There is something very clever here. I was stuck on the idea of singular and plural, but the poem says “rarely are we”. “We” is never singular, but “rarely” the pronoun may refer to “one” person, as in the case of a monarch. Well done! Fun guessing!

    We eat it hot, we eat it cold,
    And sometimes we eat it with mold.

    It’s hard, it’s soft and in between,
    If we’re asked to do this-it isn’t mean.

    The Brits say it for a bit of wind,
    Others talk about it when we grin.

    Bars, balls or giant wheels,
    Or someone who doesn’t act real

    Now that’s a lot of clues, you see
    So what is the answer to this riddle, please?

    It seems to me there’s something strong
    that weighs on you and me alike;
    a force that presses down along
    each surface that our feet will strike.

    This strange phenomenon appears
    as apples fall from autumn trees;
    it took Sir Isaac Newton years
    to realize it’s not the breeze.

    It’s like we’re drawn magnetically
    toward the center of the earth,
    so things can move kinetically
    beginning from the point of birth.

    • Monty

      That’s a classy piece, Caroline.
      Even without the prevailing riddle, it stands up as a strong, disciplined poem.
      But given that there IS also a riddle; well, it almost defies gravity.

      Reply
      • Caroline Bardwell

        Yes Monty. It is rated E for Easy, but I’m pretty fond of the poem. I can’t say that I prepared this one for the contest though. I wrote it earlier this year and I have to say it is a crowd-pleaser for the open mic set. I sent it out for publication, but had no takers so thought it would be a fun contribution.

        The name for this sonnet in iambic tetrameter is “A Strange Phenomenon” and the final couplet goes like this:

        “To sum it up with brevity,
        the word they use is Gravity!”

      • Monty

        Yeah, gravity, Jen; as in the riddle contained in Caroline’s poem. Instead of just blurting out the answer; I thought it’d be more imaginative to instead slip it into a sentence.

      • Caroline Bardwell

        Exactly. Easy enough to confidently guess!

        Final couplet in the rhyme:

        “To sum it up with brevity,
        the word they use is Gravity!”

    • Monty

      I must say, Caroline: I’m glad I first saw yer poem ‘without’ the final couplet . . which I feel to be superfluous. There are enough (practically giveaway) clues throughout the piece; the answer doesn’t need to be there. Don’t be enticed into the popularity (or some may say, monotony) of the sonnet.

      Like ya say: it IS an easy riddle to grasp, which I feel is rather fitting . . ‘cos one is thus able to concentrate their enjoyment on the poem, and not necessarily the riddle. The poem deserves that . .

    Entry #2 – This one I just crafted so I can claim I wrote it specifically for the challenge – less structured than #1 and the answer is not part of the poem. Also very easy and fun.

    I can be dark as night or somewhat fair;
    sometimes I’m barely even there.
    I can be curled or even pinned,
    easily tossed about by wind.
    I take on shapes of many sorts,
    in many lengths from long to short.
    To keep down the stress
    when you’re dressed to impress,
    I can be worn straight
    or pressed into plaits,
    repeatedly teased
    if the wearer’s so pleased
    or sculpted and sprayed
    to keep strays at bay.
    Some will flinch with every break,
    as if the entire world’s at stake,
    but knowing this much to be true –
    I can confidently promise you –
    that no one set is ever the same.
    So can you guess? What is my name?

    He was an entrepreneur who chartered a ship
    To transport prospective immigrants across the Pacific.
    On arrival at his destination, he was very optimistic,
    But at the Landing Dock he was not given a permit.
    What is the name of this entrepreneur?

    This ship made a voyage from Hong Kong
    Across the Pacific Ocean over a week long;
    It reached its destination, but could not land,
    As the chartered owner did not have permission.
    What is the name of the ship?

    Capricious, shifting to-and-fro,
    I’m sometimes fast and sometimes slow;
    I’ve been around since long ago,
    Yet I’m the one you cannot know.

    A little of me lulls to sleep,
    And when I stop, the sailors weep.
    Too strong, and things lie in a heap:
    The mess I make is never cheap.

    I’ll make you open windows wide,
    Then slam them shut and stay inside.
    On my account, will you decide
    To button up, or bare your hide.

    You’ll never see me with your eye,
    And yet you’ll know when I pass by,
    For rustling leaves will testify
    When through the arbor, soft, I fly.

    Riddle #1

    At first glance, I fill your heart with delight;
    For me, all the world’s men with surely fight!
    I make or break every nation
    And back every celebration.

    But, on my second note, I like secrets
    And what’s precious.
    My friends and I help to protect
    Everything from bike to diamond necklace.

    The company I keep is between two and four.
    Never less, never more.
    At first, I was scared of their teeth and claws,
    But now I do follow their woodland laws.

    It’s not a husband or a wife

    Not any other person, realistically or actually.
    Neither dog, statistically, nor cat, factually,

    or lover, friend, bird, or turtle.
    Sorry – this might hurt a little.

    It is by no means a multiple-choice question,

    Due to my bipolar presence, I am both stormy and passive,
    With solar winds and lunar lures, my surf-face rarely placid.
    Fueling terrestrial climate, my wind and water are indispensable,
    Even if at times, their devastation’s indefensible.
    I’m a beautiful beast of nature, who only remains the same by changing,
    With my tempests, tides, and streams that I’m continually rearranging.
    My forces aren’t hormonal, they’re by-products of a shared environment,
    As a result the exchanges induced are passionate and violent.

    I’ve never been exactly sure
    How long I’ve been on this old earth;
    It sometimes seems it’s not much less
    Than Man himself has held tenure.
    I’ve took on many forms since birth
    To keep abreast with Man’s progress:

    And took on many colours since
    My nascent hue of bluey-black.
    I started life in feathers, which
    Necessitated many stints
    In pots and wells (both with a lack
    Of water). I then made the switch

    To fountains (which also contained
    No water). Since those days, my role
    Has changed to stay by Man employed;
    In recent times he’s even trained
    Me to work with jets. And a whole
    New role began when redeployed

    By Man (lest he makes a blunder)
    To render me invisible!
    I still retain my centuries-old
    Propensity to get under
    Man’s skin . . and it is risible
    The cash he’ll pay for this, I’m told.

    I’d like to think I’m here to stay,
    But Man’s existence seems to be
    Under threat. Well, if that’s the case,
    I wonder if there’ll come a day
    When Monkeys learn to work with me . .
    I could outlive the Human-Race!

    Who is the Lonely Heart?

    I caught a lonely heart one summer night,
    As he lit up for the lady in the wings,
    Beguiled,I admit, by his phosphorescent light,
    I succumbed to my weakness for hexapodal things.

    I trapped him, though tenderly, a prize in my glass,
    And demanded that his love-light flash for me,
    Alas, he demurred, his beloved in the grass,
    Alone could summon such technology.

    Sighing, I tipped the solemn fellow out,
    “Free at last!”, did he exclaim and fly away,
    Directly, post haste, to the beacon of his heart
    Without bidding me adieu with courtesy?

    Nay, he beamed kindly in my direction,
    Lest I feel keenly the sting of rejection.

    Flies on the wall would swear he never went
    Anywhere. But he didn’t need a plane
    To fly me to the farthest continent,
    Nor liberty to lead me down the lane.

    Your Gran’ (a wizard too) would, in the car,
    Lose all his magic powers, so I’d walk
    Around with him indoors. His repertoire
    Of words was not his own. That didn’t shock
    A single soul, though: Whose words ever are?
    And flies on walls would swear he loved to talk.

    Unchained but bound together, you and I
    Now take each other anywhere we care
    To go (and any way: We even fly
    On aeroplanes as one). With ample air
    There’s ample magic, too, for those who buy.
    Lately, though, it seems that everywhere
    We go together (even in the sky),
    Neither one of us is really there.

    Envoi

    If searching souls should find this riddle and
    not print it out, nor read it on a screen
    that’s wider than a palm (as I have planned
    for most), here’s one more hint to what I mean:
    As eyes peruse the problem now in hand,
    “I’s” also hold the answer, in between.
    (If even still souls do not understand:
    Solutions might be felt as well as seen.)

        Sounds right when you try this out with all the clues in the riddle–especially if you happen to be reading the text of the riddle in such a device! Thanks for checking in, Rhini Sunderam.

    Wow, it’s about Him!

    He is a friend and foe
    that we all somehow know…

    He pre-dates our air, water and land
    yet at our feet He will lay His Sand…

    He has hands and yet never claps,
    He is awake and never naps…

    the answer He will tell as He never lies
    for He is the true father that never dies,

    people have tried to have Him freeze, waste and burn,
    He was the subject of the song “turn, turn, turn”…

    if you can ID this fair man please make haste and drop a dime,
    also know that this great equalizer’s name must rhyme with rhyme.

    Who has Awaken the Children?

    It was one silent night
    without even a peep,
    the kids had said ‘goodnight,’
    asked lord their souls to keep,
    for to God they would always kneel down and confide
    finding after their prayers their loud echoes had died
    then being tucked in
    and then sleeping tight
    and then all evening
    avoiding the bite.

    Then suddenly came
    the rain,
    striking in awe,
    the yawning
    awning.
    Drowning droplets,
    in pain,
    irritated
    and now irrigated.

    He took them by surprise
    when he opened the door;
    while over them he stood
    as he started to pour.

    And after all of his tears
    had fallen and dried…
    the cries vanquished the fears
    of the torment inside.

    Now with lightened souls
    and redefined roles
    from a calm so deep…

    all the children
    laid buried, in sleep.
