    I may be getting suckered into my own "devices" but what the heck.

    GOOD RIDDLE!! (might need some time on this)
  3. Nah. You know me . . . all metaphor, no meat.
  4. No such thing as a bad guess. But it is incorrect. Keep at it.

    No, I disagree. The theme was fine, the riddle fine. But DaddysPeachTree also initiated a religious discussion by exhorting others to turn to God at the end of his/her riddle. And lo and behold THAT is what has happened. No big deal and I'm sure DPT has enough skin to weather my response. I apologize to DPT if I offended in any way. But I personally don't think pouring out one's personal ideology is appropriate. That's just my take on the matter.

    Welcome to the Den, DPT! Thank you Houston, you enforced my point rather succintly. When posters use the forum to exhort their personal religious sentiments, as you have now done, it veers far from its intended purpose, wouldn't you say? If you had noticed, I included a laughing face with my initial post to demonstrate that I held no ill will. But as expected, some see any negative response to religion as a personal assault and indicative of . . . what were your words? Oh yes, hate and cruelty. Pretty over the top there Hokie. "Tis better to be kind?" Funny that, for you utilized the opportunity of your little rhyme to actually DERIDE non-believers as people without brains who "deny" "run" and "hide!" Wow! Good show! As an atheist I find that thoroughly offensive, friend, and considering your purpose in posting, the epitome of hypocrisy. But most importantly, the fact that we are even having this "discussion" is the reason why posting one's personal religious beliefs seems entirely inappropriate, be it couched in a riddle or stated quite plainly as you have done. It is wholly unneccessary and may lead to disputation. Such remarks belong on a religious blog. I apologize to the moderators for chewing up thread space here. Cheers
  7. No one yet, but one real close.
  8. Edit: A jewel glinting in the sand On a darkened beach in a distant land. A sign for some, for others a gem To garnish the tomes of learned men. Maker of many save but two; Oldest of old, I’m totally new. Destroyer, creator of all that you see, Will you lend a name to me?

    This sounds more like a personal testimony than a riddle.
  10. Sailor: Mariner, one who navigates a vessel of some sort. I guess I can't please everybody, eh?
  11. Outstanding riddle though obvious in some areas. Could have been a real head-slapper. Keep it up.
  12. A diamond glinting in the sand On a darkened beach in a distant land. A sign for some, for others a gem To garnish the tomes of learned men. Maker of many save but two; But for me there would be no you.
  13. I'll spoiler it all, sorry. OK, somebody shoot me down. Well done Iconoclast. Correct answer but just a tiny bit off on the analysis.
  14. I'm off for the weekend and my computer's down. Back in a few days. Good luck.
  15. “To the Sea!” the sailors cry, Professor, Angel, and the Fly. Three in one on three below, “To the Sea!” the sailors go. A sturdy ship to Virgin Isle, Best in fleet for great the mile. High on mast where eagle nests “To the Sea!” these sailors best. One mast, two mast, three mast down In ocean’s depth three masts drown. “What a wondrous desolation!” This the sailor’s answered question.
  16. Sorry, no clues on this one; that would defile her virginity.
