Question

Leaves are falling with no where to go

Tho 'neath the tree you take me so

Many places both far and wide

It's up to you, only you can decide

To take it or leave it as you like

For some the balance is hard to strike

Now where to go and what to learn

From me it's endless what one can discern

But if it is games you are prepared to play

Not the game of life but instead you might say

Around again to the first crossing you come

May make this riddle a lot easier for some.

It has to do with a book and a newbie and if my last guess was close then could it be reading the rulebook to a newbie before playing a board game?

nothing to do with a newbie. let me know where you got that so i can address if needed. thanks and keep it up. think you're almost there.

I dont' know why, but a couple times I've read it and "the bible" popped into my head.

tons of lessons, take it or leave it, about life, etc etc.

second stanza doesn't fit too well though.

fantastic first riddle though...

Oh, I see. The title has nothing to do with it. It's just embarrassing. I was referring to a comment I had made about the structure of the riddle. Really two riddles with the same answer.

Thanks!

Chess_Vixen's "Book" is merely on the right track but the one word answer to the riddle(s) is not a book's title.

Dont know the protocall here but here's an editted version of the above which was way too wordy and poorly written. Sorry if this offends.

Leaves are turning but no where they blow.

Tho 'neath the tree this takes me so

Many places both far and wide.

It's up to you. You can decide

Where to go and what to discern

From me; it's endless what you can learn.

This sound to me like a library or reading

But if it's games you're prepared to play,

Not the game of life but instead you might say,

"Around again to the first crossing you come"

May make this riddle a lot easier for some.

I'm thinking board games like Monopoly and the quote here reminds me of the "take a ride on the Reading Railroad" (the first railroad crossing)

so my answer would be

reading

Maybe only marginally better but needed to do.... Thanks

Wow..can't believe I missed that. Awesome riddle!

You were right there and had the break out discovery that I think eventually got it solved. Thanks so much. Put up another tonight which is 100% play on words. Clues like the "instead you might say" in this riddle referring to the different pronunciation of the railroad town "Reading" (homophones).

You're welcome so much! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and wish I had made the connection sooner, but, ah well, can't always get it right the first time :) Trying out your new post..will see what comes of it.
