Find me in both sea and earth.
I am proud to stand for honest worth.
When joy and grief reach overflow
My taste is one you surely know.
Not to give too much away,
Let’s meet for a meal
Whenever you say.

Riding the winds of a rainbow towards infinity
Find me in both sea and earth.
I am proud to stand for honest worth.
When joy and grief reach overflow
My taste is one you surely know.
Not to give too much away,
Let’s meet for a meal
Whenever you say.

I think if I've not erred to fault
My anxious brain did not hear halt
And deep within it's humid vault
Up comes the answer...surely salt!

I'm bettin'...Cheers, Bob

I'm thinking I need to raise the curtain a bit, so I'll highlight the word or words that are the pertinent clue bits. If that doesn't do it for you I'll retire back to my cave to ponder immortality.

If you're Russian to jump on a train
And you wear red akin to a flame
And you head for a seat
Thinking you can't be beat
You're so souped up, you're actually vain

I think I've gone around the block with this one, stretching credulity. Still perhaps someone will grasp may wavelength... Let's see...

Cheers, Bob

Riding the winds of a rainbow towards infinity
The ocean's my forever bed
I'm brownish green, but dead I'm red
I keep things clean by what I'm fed
And as I grow, so does the dread
I use my tail more than my head
And with that clue, enough is said

Does nobody want to play?

Cheers, Bob

So it appears that either nobody cares...or you need more help, so optimistically, I'll assume the latter...

So for clues, seems you need a few more
So I'll try here to open that door
But it's all in your grasp
Not too far from the hasp
Please guess this so I'm not a bore...

The riddles are backing up waiting for answers in rhyme... Here's another...do the time!

As you enter, you give me a hand
As you leave, I'm still part of the plan
Though I shoot from the hip
And help you get a grip
Yet I'm taken for granted, more than...

Cheers, Bob

Can't believe you're all making me wait
For the answer where I've left much bait
"yes" it's on every door
You cannot need much more
You could even find one on the gate

Cheers, Bob

His soft long white beard has no stickle
And apparently he's fond of a cycle
He's an end of days bloke
But his face spawns no joke
Where his heart should be, lurks an ice-cycle

HOPE ALL THE POETS HERE HAVE A WONDERFUL 2017

Cheers, Bob

I'm fine finding words for a song,
But I really do hate being wrong.
Yet it's funny you bring this up still
As I'm quite familiar with Knob Hill.

So, good job 'newcomer', if that is, by Knob Hill you are actually referring to door knob... I'm guessing you are... So, if you are still in the mood, there's one more riddle to solve. Care to take another turn at bat?

Cheers, Bob

What’s this? A door with no way in,
no knob, no knocker, buzzer, bell?
Oh, well.
We’ll stand outside and shout, I guess
knock and pound and...
No answer. Wait!
Is this the right address?

Nobody up yet to the plate?
How long must a 'riddler' wait?
Is the date not a clue?
What a solver must do?
When this puzzle first showed up as bait

Cheers, Bob

What do you call the new-year kid
when he's all grown up in December?
Whatever he is, January's babe
wears a sash of resolutions
you never remember.

Father Time, is the rhyme, as you've shown
And I remember every resolution, and the exact moment I break them...

Cheers, Bob

It's the Achilles Heel of most men
Clouds their thinking, of when to say "when".
For directions, won't ask
Over reach for a task
It weighs nothing, yet authors upends...

It can't sit in a jar on the shelf
It can't be counted up with one's wealth
It's a factor of brain
Causing many much pain
Can't control it till one knows one's self

Type A's seem to have it the worst
And many don't view it a curse
While it often fuels drive
Puts the life into live
With several it leads them to burst


Any solvers out their? Still nothing? I'm trying to give this thread CPR but apparently I'm an army of one... It's ok...I can wait.

Cheers, Bob

So my high minded Lazarus Goal
For this thread doesn't seem to burn coal
Can't attract any posts
All past writers are ghosts
Guess I've failed at this task on the whole

Unless...unless...unless...someone still wants to take a stab at this riddle clue?

Cheers, Bob

So the weather outside fairly sucks
And I've nothing at hand to earn bucks
So I'll play yet once more
As I beg and implore
For some posters to back up the trucks

Let your wit and unpuzzling brains sniff
At my previous puzzle please whiff
Is there no writer who
Will solve from my clue
For my day that could make a big dif

Cheers, Bob
