poetic riddles ?!?

[kborsden]

Know what I miss? Rhyming riddles and poetic posers...

Like Humpty Dumpty once said -

'why would I be normal if my face had the eyes on the other side, with nose and mouth above, not below? And would I then be you, or would you have the greater smile? For smiling is an act of crime...but what is it, I ask, that holds that grin in place?'

Here's a little one of my own...

"Her name is found within these words,
‘though no pages shall be turned
discovery bound upon her birth,
where upon this green-blue earth
does she ride grounds out in the dirt?
Through the stages is she hurled.
there upon inside this dirge,
undoubted she sounds into the world."

See if you can answer it...then...if you like post one of your own too.

PS anybody get Humpty's??

I know because I found a similar (one word in the last line is different as is capitalization) rhyme at http://ekmusaafir.com/index.html

Does she ride grounds out in the dirt?
Through the stages is she hurled.
There upon throughout this dirge,
Shall undoubtedly sound into the world.

Of course many poems are riddles within riddles. For some, we never solve a poem, just briefly brush against it. Like a cat in the dark.

Y'all know that this is a venerable medieval tradition, right?

And a staple of skaldic poetry.

"Over the wave a weird thing I saw:
water turned to bone".

Are we going to continue this 'venerable tradition' then?
