Write a riddle poem! Make it as traditional or untraditional as you want, in any genre you want. Make it dark and scary, totally mundane, or anything in between. It can be as long or short as you like and the answer can be anything you want, from an abstract concept to an everyday object. Tell us the answer in the comments or, if you prefer, have the readers guess and we'll see who gets yours right!

A Riddle

I have no face of my own;

From behind I am blind.

To me, all is known;

What is here I will find.

I am silver, you are gold;

You are warm but I am cold.

Who am I?

Open Your Eyes

We were here first, we will be here at last;

Some of us you'll see only after we've passed.

A thousand of us could fit in your eye,

Yet just one beside you would blot out the sky.

One of our brothers rides over each day,

And another stands guard to show sailors the way.

What are we?

What am I?

I am life

I am death

I am clear

I am dirty

I am free

I am expensive

I am a necessity

Yet took for granted

You can bring me to water,

but you can't make me drink.

Flies like me, and often I stink.

I don't lay down, even while sleeping,

But here I lay now, maggots peeping.

What am I?

Riddle Me a Riddle

Riddles are Reaper's specialty try this one.

Born of light I’ve dwelt in darkness with eyes that glow a demons red

My frozen smile will keep you laughing, even if I’m long since dead

My communication is sound, but my voice cannot be found.

What am I?

What am I?

I can be smooth and worn,

Long and bunched-up.

I can be plain or mysterious,

I change a million times each day,

But in the night I am still.

You can cover me up and paint me,

But beneath I am still the same.

Over the years I will change,

But what lies beneath will always be the same.
