0 Guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Here's a hint Each stanza is a separate riddle for 3 different words that make a simple sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bonanova Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm more at home with analytical puzzles; this is of a different type. Like, nothing ... then, aha! Haven't had the aha yet. And, it's not your worst poetry ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Ok. Last hints before I spoil it. Hint 1 Each line on a stanza is a different way of describing the word for the whole stanza. Hint 2 Last Stanza, second line. Which way do you turn if you face west from south? What does that have to do with the rest of the lines.

U, Ewe, You - YOU A silver screen not meant for teen A movie that's not for teens A hundred meters square Hmmm ... a unit of measure for 100 square meters One of a pod propped with a rod What comes in pods? Peas? What is a pea propped with a rod?

The apple of Aries’ eye Aries is a Ram, so what would catch his attention and spark his desire ... I was thinking of Aries' offspring, I usually hear the term "apple of my eye" referring to children. . . . A westward turn from south A right hand turn This I was thinking it was left. If you are coming from the South, you would turn left to turn west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks I really enjoyed the riddle, since I'm not much of a math wiz. Words are a lot more fun for me, I carry a grammer hammer and use it liberally on my teenagers. The poetry was actually pretty awesome in my humble opinion, keep it up WB. Bona, Thanks for the vote of confidence, lol. Did you catch the lines I wrote for Pi? (count the letters) I can do worse, look out. I'll be climbing towers for the next three days, lotta hours, when I get back I owe you guys a post on the ark and then I get to torture Bonanova with some Vogon Poetry. (Don't Panic!) Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Can someone please explain this to me? A westward turn from south. I just cannot seem to picture this one. A westward turn from facing south perhaps? I dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 You're going south then going west. Even in poetry, that would be a right turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why I didn't do so well in English Lit I never got the poetry All I could think of is, if you are coming from the South, you are heading North, but it makes sense now.
