No so far, but some right-headed thinking.

No and no.

Ice is beaten down to dust Comes the heat, melt it must. Magic metal in a pot, Stir it up, keep it hot. Wind arises, gentle breeze Ice again, watch it freeze. Take a knife and make the cut, Solve a puzzle, put it up. Vivid tale or just a show? Only light will let you know.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! In a great little paper written to tout it! A ruler to measure the rule by the rules! Father and friends felt like the fools! Extra! Extra! No pennies for pounds, No arms tied to arms, the body is found! Father and friends passed through a gate, No one to stop them; all can relate! Extra! Extra! Read it and say The common among us binds us today. Papa is angry, he didn’t like rules That cornered his house, or qualified fools! Extra! Extra! Paper sublime! Sealed with a seal in a meadow in time.

Thanks for the input. I really didn't think it was that obvious except for the "deep and dark" clue which leads one to the obvious when all is taken in context. That was the intention. I don't want to make them too esoteric as I prefer these to appeal to a broader audience than just you and graven and d3k3 and such. In fact, I'm not writing them specifically for this forum. I just post them here to see how they're received and so certainly welcome such input as you've given. Cheers

you're fast

Also a good fit except for the cage.

Why am I not surprised. Of course it is. Cheers!

Good shots all; none on the mark though.

Some germs are like worms in the loosest of terms That wiggle in deepest of dark. Some like a party and when they get started The mood is just like a spark. These silly critters get all in a twitter When finding the flat at the end Of the narrowest street in the darkest of deep Which from an odd town extends. A cage lies below with looks just for show And a lantern is lit in the flat, Which silently swings, hoping to bring A meal to a meal, tet-for-tat. Who owns the flat?

Bjoob, Pleae use spoilers, especially when you get the answer correct. Thanks

Here's a re-write (a little after the fact, but any suggestions to make it better are welcome) Four careful climbers and diminutive guide Scaling one cliff, “Pick me!” it cried. They maneuver in step, each level to plan, And head to the top, brave to the man. Bowing and bending under weight of their mission, They stick to the route, one artist’s vision. A taught rope tightens, bound to a neck; A madman is tasked to keep it in check. And a body abused by the strap was then hung . . . A tragic event to which ballads are sung.

You got it Dudly. It needs some rework I think. Too many "key" words if you know what I mean.

Four careful climbers and their diminutive guide Scaling the face, “Pick me” seemed its cry. They maneuver in squadron, each level to plan, Head to the top, a key for each man. Fretting and bending under weight of their mission, They stick to the schedule, one man’s artful vision. Then the taught rope quivers, being put to the neck; A madman is key to keep it in check. Thus a body abused by the strap was then hung, A well-known event to which ballads are sung.

Four swords guard an ivory bowl, Bones within its hold. One jewel to house another, A story to be told. Of love and grief and God’s relief, Where sin is all washed free, To mark where fourteen claimed the last The best among the three.

And Dudley takes the prize!

After reading your initial thoughts, I don't think it's neccessary to steer you toward or away from anyhting. When you see/get the answer, you'll say "duh!" I suggest you go back and read your first post carefully while re-reading the riddle. That's when the "duh" moment will probably occur.
-
Wonderhill, your analysis is very astute. Are you close to the target? That would be an understatement.
-
Well ya'll, way past my bedtime. 'Night.

Nope By canon, I don't mean the biblical one. The "other" one.
-
I can only shakee my head Wizard of Oz, maybe. That's canon. Crazy Train? Hmm.
