0 deannaart Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 flights of fancy, fantasy I love these guesses, guys! But sadly, none of them are what i'm looking for. Is it too early to guide you a little? You tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, i wish i hadn't said that, because i was really enjoying the answers i was getting...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
deannaart
I flitter and flutter
And float on by
On the whim of a breeze
I soar to the sky
A colorful balloon
Tail of ribbon upon me
Let's float and see
The sights we can see
I see other balloons
Up in the air
Twirling over here
Zipping over there
I stick in a tree
Now my new home
Looking up to the sky
I want to roam
hi guys. some of you may remember me, some not.
i've been around a long time and must say it's
good to be back. ok this riddle is in my usual
fashion. it is written as a metaphor. now figure
out the riddle. what is the metaphor? happy riddling!!!!
