0 Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 WITCH HAZEL Oooh! VERY VERY good answer. I LOVE it. I wish it were my answer, but it isn't. Well, in a way it is. But I'm looking for a more general word. However. I do think, I might make that the answer when I put it in my riddle book (although, of course, I don't plan to give the answers). I love you answer. You are in the right direction, though. Something else, obviously of similar nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
This one should also be easy. But was fun to write.
Our mother died and we fell from her.
Amidst a labyrinth of dark, we were.
Somehow I knew which way to go,
My sibling died, but I must grow.
I reached for breath, but my path was blocked.
I suddenly found myself fighting a rock.
I cracked it asunder and continued to rise.
Aching for a glimpse of clear blue skies.
Into a stretch, an expanse I came,
And heavenward still I continued to aim.
My pits gave way to an odorous scent.
Spicy and flavorful, with a savory accent.
Soon enough, I became,
The thing for which you need a name.
Many cousins have I,
Different scents for which to dry.
Some of us are toxic to you,
Others still, a medicinal brew.
You will know me because of my bloom,
But I’ll have no bark to make you a broom.
