Great riddle in a poem piah, followed by this sleepy right answer....
For young'uns and for geezers,
sometimes there's need for tweezers.
(My first thought was those old rabbit-ears television antennae, but, no....)
Ah! Well, I thought "gated cage" might not be a fireplace cause not every fireplace has a screen, but oh well!
I trace my history to still waters,
ponds and quiet pools.
Within me, a portrait reappears
and vanishes, changing over time,
composite, yet unique.
Don't look to me to mask or flatter.
Light and truth are all that matter.

I apologize for my absence,
here's a hint for those askew:
an oven is the "kitchen's maw",
I wonder what it offers food?
In winter months the sun is far,
and snow and wind abound;
yet we can cuddle, making this,
to keep us safe and sound.
One last clue for those in need,
or who really love the game;
it's capitalized in basketball,
Miami owns this name.

How neat!
The answer's HEAT.
Google can solve it even if we can't. hahahaha
*note to self: if the answer isn't a physical object, it might be a quality. Duh!
Good one, _city_. Thanks!
Not a riddle, just a reflection:
Said the Wicked Queen,
Summarily, I order thee,
dare not ever come between
my friend and lovely Royal Me.
He may be glass, but never fear,
he tells me what I want to hear.

Twins, though often found
a little way apart.
Multiform, we cling and swing
like mountaineers
to the lips of jutting ledges.
Released, we reunite,
rejoin our companions,
a sorority of twins.

'Feet' kinda sorta fits...and is a good first guess... I actually hope that's it because I've already gone to the trouble of putting you on a pedestal...
Cheers, Bob
Not feet. Far from feet. 60 vertical inches, at least.
Let me try to pierce this plight,
spring the catch and cast some light.
The mountain face, its crags and peak,
are with us always as we speak.
As for those who dangle there,
when they drop, the ledge is bare.
Six clues. Can't think of any more.
Whoops! Someone's ringing at my door.
I look forward to another post.
Solve this and we'll raise a toast.
( Make that nine clues in all)

*pedestal for sale, cheap*
I can't think of much but twinned body parts like eyes, lips -- but that sorority of twins bit stumps me.
Come on, smart people, where are you?

I'd rather be smart, than good looking, but that's out of my hands... The only 'toast' I'll be raising is either soggy or burnt...This clue does not 'ring' a bell with me... First we're 60-inches away from feet, then we're on a mountain ledge. (BTW, pedestals have no resale value...so don't chuck it yet). If you could save the earth, or cure cancer by solving this Kbelle I'm sure you would...I got a quarter says you can do this!!!
Cheers, Bob
