0 dms172 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 a date or getting ready for one cuz guy looks for clean sock to wear and scatters dirty ones and girl puts on nail polish and last line means not married or something like that.

0 andromeda Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 How's that?a date or getting ready for one cuz guy looks for clean sock to wear and scatters dirty ones and girl puts on nail polish and last line means not married or something like that. Actually my idea was Scattered dirty socks - obviously his belongings Empty nail polish vial - her belongings Not ours, mine and yours. - those items do not belong to both of them and they illustrate the little things about them; to some people leaving those things like that would be annoying, but not to these two, they are happy and content in their relationship and like each others flaws; and the reason why I said the last line is because in a relationship we must always know who we are, our likes and dislikes, and those little annoying things are the essential part of our being and something we should never change and also except those things with others; in conclusion - THESE ARE TWO HAPPY AND CONTENT PEOPLE, but read the SUBTITLE and answer... What am I? I hope this hint helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 andromeda Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Im not good at these riddles, and your "Hints" are confusing me more and more. Happy No... listen (read) The solution kinda has nothing to do with whats written. You notice that the "riddle" is kinda short. There is something you have to count in order to know what the solution is. This one it 100% different than my previous ones and I'll never post this as a riddle again in this form. Why?

0 dms172 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 you will probably tell me this is wrong but if it's not ours than it must be hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andromeda Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 you will probably tell me this is wrong but if it's not ours than it must be hours Yeah, but thanks for reading and guessing... because like I said this one I'm really excited about and care about your opinion cause this is the first one of this kind that I have written... HINT: count the syllables... That was my last hint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 since as soon as you said "count" in the hint before, I figured you were looking for: HAIKU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andromeda Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 since as soon as you said "count" in the hint before, I figured you were looking for: HAIKU Yeah! It wasn't really a riddle but you still needed to guess I didn't was to mislead people... So how do you like it? That was my first. I'm very proud of it. I think it makes a statement!

That was my first. I'm very proud of it. I think it makes a statement! I thought it was very good! Better than I could do, certainly. And I believe that form of writing depends as much (or more) upon what the reader brings to it as what the author brings. Personally, I read it as sort of the dark underbelly of a relationship just past the "honeymoon phase", filtered down to two simple (yet significant) items. I'm sure someone who's a bit more blissfull at the moment would read it completely differently. Yeah....I really enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Izzy Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Aww, I was too late to try and solve it! I probably would have, considering we're doing Poetry in English at the moment. Hah, also, I'm a girl with scattered dirty sock that doesn't use nail polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I dont understand the answer. What is HAIKU? How did you come up with that answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andromeda Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I dont understand the answer. What is HAIKU? How did you come up with that answer? Here is the explanation Haiku is a Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons, with no metaphors included It doesn't necessarily have to do with season, the key is to give two different images with lines 1 and 2 and to bring them together in line 3, but again it's a rule that a lot of haiku writers digress from Scat-tered dirt-y socks = 5 syllables Emp-ty nail pol-ish vi-al = 7 syllables Not ours, mine and yours. = 5 syllables So it was and at the same time wasn't that much important what is written but in what form! So this is an unusual "riddle" and you only had to guess that it's a haiku poem, or that it's written in a haiku form. I hope this helps.

0 Guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Super Riddle Makes complete sense after reading the answer, but I dont think I would have ever gotten it even with all the hints/clues you kept giving out. I compelely understand why you said that it is one of a king ( Unless you will do other types of poems. ). Well done on your continued origional ( and super hard) riddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
