0 deannaart Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) OK, headache has eased up a little, so i can stand looking at a computer screen again. Yay!! Guess a little! I'm here to answer and guide you. Like I said, this is my first non-metaphor in a while, so I hope it's not too confusing. Happy riddling!!

0 Guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I know this is not a metaphor, but I just can't help guessing like it is, because, well, my brain automatically does that when reading your riddles!princess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evn if it didn't, I still would have to guess like that a few times to get on the right track simply because it was comming from you. a girl? ya it'll be a while before I'm on the right track...

Well, thank you for your confidence in my ability to write metaphors. However, again, I must say, no, this is not going down the right path. Now that you're guessing like it is, I almost wish I had written it as a metaphor. Not being one is going to throw a lot of people I think. Please keep trying, though. I think you'll be able to get past your mental block. Re-read the second to last line, and hopefully that'll help you see what type of answer I'm looking for.

I'm a big fan of your metaphors, and the fact that it's not one will throw me of, but I will still try! of good looks or style, but they're both in the riddle.

Well thanx for being a fan. I actually have one to drop, but am waiting till Monday, I think. Anyhow, these answers are more along the right track in that they are intangible. Other than that, you are right. They can't be it cause I used them in the riddle. Keep at it! I will try and think up some hints if this starts to seem to hard, but I think it's a little early yet.

0 deannaart Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Poddle It makes sence right nowPetagree Hey, Magic-luver. Thanx for the guesses. Your first one can't be it, because it is a tangible object, and what I'm looking for is not. The second one kinda fits, but unfortunately is not what I'm looking for.

0 deannaart Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I feel I should clear something up. We'll make it a small hint. Since this is not one of my classic metaphors, everyone is thinking very dog- specific. This is not necessarily the case. But as it relates to dogs, it would relate mostly to show dogs.

0 deannaart Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 AKC standerd No, again, and remember the hint... It doesn't ncessarily have to do with dogs,but when it does, it mostly applies to show dogs. You did follow the second part of the hint, but the first part is very important too.

Question
deannaart
The dog went to the groomers
To keep up her good looks
Maintain that classy style
You only find in books
It wasn't easy to keep up
With all of the pretension
Caused her and those around
Undue amounts of tension.
But she had to act proper
Always looking her very best
This thing she must keep
Well above all the rest
