Guitar or some other six-stringed instrument...specifically one with frets (or other ridges), and ending at a bridge....the strings are under great strain on the neck of the instrument and they entertain and can express happiness or remorse...actually, re-reading, I revise my answer to be GUITAR STRINGS :c) Edited May 14, 2009 by Pickett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Pickett Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Since you wanted to know what gave your riddle(s) away, here's my train of thought for this one: Six of us you may see, Ok, something that is made of six parts, or has six forms, or something along those lines Running our narrow course. Didn't really get anything from this line at first, but now get it Enriching one's life beautifully, Or expressing one's remorse. Hmm...showing different emotions...broad range of expression Crossing ridge after ridge, Voicing our motion and strain This line really pointed to musical instrument with strings, because of STRAIN and VOICING MOTION We have our end at a bridge A bridge is a term for the base of where the strings attach to the body on most stringed instruments... And hope we've entertained More reason to believe musical instrument (entertainment) So, since there were six of the strings, going over "ridges" (aka frets), and a bridge...it made it obvious it was guitar...but then you have to account for the fact that it is the STRINGS that are telling the riddle...so...the answer is Guitar Strings. For me, I feel you used too many key words (bridge, strain, voicing our motion, entertain, ridge) which just having those words alone point to a guitar. I would maybe suggest more misdirection (like the first line being "four, five, six, or seven of us there could be" or something like that) or even telling a story with them (like "we traveled over many hills, each one looming closer than the last until we finally had to cross a bridge. Our tense journey was finally over...blah blah blah)...I obviously didn't put it to rhyme in this example, but you get the point... I like your riddles though, so keep it up!

Question
Guest
Here's my riddle for today...might be easy. Please give feedback!
Six of us you may see,
Running our narrow course.
Enriching one's life beautifully,
Or expressing one's remorse.
Crossing ridge after ridge,
Voicing our motion and strain
We have our end at a bridge
And hope we've entertained
What am I?
