0 Guest Report post Posted November 3, 2011 It is the second verse that I'm having trouble fulfilling. Especially with the bridges. Although these are wrong, I want to guess them too. A duel or a joust Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 MissKitten 70 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 For some strange reason, my first thought was An arcade? Or an amusement park? Actually, that's a lie. My first thought was a casino game or something, but that's obviously not it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Shakeepuddn 12 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Well, this is the best I could come up with, but I doubt it's right. The Tower Bridge in London No, but good guess. My style uses a lot of metaphor ( would not call it a tower in the riddle if it were actually a tower), word play, and double entendres. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here’s a totem a tale to tell
of worlds at war where hammers fell.
There’s a tower of windows six,
shades when drawn determined picks.
Face to face at the end of plot
Received a kiss, were missed when shot.
Two sentries stalwart held their ground
Guarding bridges spanning round.
