0 Guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 aka, go ahead and look up names if you need to. Evidently this one wasn't as tough as I thought it might be. John got the answer based upon a few lines, but it looks like it's not entirely "solved" yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Beautifuls as always. Beryl is actualy colourless when not tainted by minerals (chrome / vanadium being one of them). Just an added fact.

Question
Guest
This one might be tough. Let's see. As usual, please support your answer with analysis of the lines of the riddle. (It's just more fun that way).
If cowardice and blues coalesced
You’d find me in that awful mess
Covetous, jealous, envious
Yet closely held to Erieann’s breast
Center of a prism’s yield
And shining bright in Beryl’s chrome
Or springtime in a meadow’y field
A bine that peeks from fertile loam
A rookie unsophisticate
A lubber lacking seamans legs
What Kal-El’s bane might well emit
A taste of Teddy Geisel’s eggs
