Ok, I've been answering for a while, so I had to try the other side. This is the first riddle I've ever written, and I think its a bit too easy... but then again, I wrote it, so I already know the answer.

Here goes:

Here’s a new twist

On a riddle once dead

I promise it’s new;

Don’t turn off this thread!

The first thing I am thinking of

Isn't easy to define

If you plan on guessing correctly

You’ll have to enlighten your mind.

The second item of this What Are We

Should lead you to the other

Cause if you’ve ever forgotten me

You've been reminded by your mother.

The First is to be kept tidy,

The Second, not to waste

I'm rarely without the other,

So answer not in haste

I’ll tell you we’re tangible objects

So this’ll go on without a hitch,

(And after you see the answer

It’ll hit you like a switch.)

If you think you know the answer,

Screw your thinking cap on tighter…

What is it I am thinking of?

And what put in me makes me lighter?

Some stanzas have one or more word clues to a portion of the answer.

Bedtime snack? (Bed as in "bedroom"-something to keep tidy, Snack-as in "food", Something not to waste

Bedroom light? A light bulb makes you "lighter" (or brighter)

You are dangerously close to solving this quickly, but...

its "What are WE?"

Light (or maybe nore accurately light bulb) is right but bedroom is wrong?

Well, yes and no and yes. I'm just nitpicking at this point because you solved so quickly.

A Room (or Bedroom)

Lightbulbs (or lamps, lights, whatever)

So you kinda just combined the two portions into one answer.

Well done, Deannaart!

Now can you see the hint words and phrases in the stanzas?

I hope my guesses help others out because unfortunately I must leave for a while. More guesses later. Happy hunting!

a room and a lightbulb? (the room was the hardest to get!)
