Book of Riddles - Z3R0 - 03-08-2006
See if you can figure this out:
thinking2
That a voiceless creature spoke charmed
Words, chanted praise, prayer-song
Wise and wonderful it seemed to me
* * *
It speaks without mouth, moves without feet
* * *
Saying, "I am now teacher of men,
Preacher to many on middle-earth--
I will live as long as men walk the land."
Wound with silver and plated gold,
I have seen it open where men sit
Drinking together. Now a wise man
Should know what this creature is called.

O.O... my wild guess would be a .... shadow
Book of Riddles - Z3R0 - 03-09-2006
A clever guess but that is not correct. >8) try again
Here's another:
Hard and steep-cheeked, wrapped in red
Gold and garnet, ripped from a plain
Of bright flowers, wrought--a remnant
Of fire and file, bound in stark beauty
With delicate wire, my grip makes
Warriors weep, my sting threatens
The hand that grasps gold. Studded
With a ring, I ravage heir and heirloom
* * *
To my lord and foes always lovely
And deadly, altering face and form.

I am not sure of the first one, but I was looking at the second one and I saw:

Is the answer to the first one music/song?
I think the answer to the second one is time

You are correct in your assumption. The second one is a sword. Reread over the first one and look for clues.
Additional Comment:
Here is another if the solution to the first riddle evades you:
Gazing in a hall at a golden ring.
Who turned the ring prayed to God
For abiding peace, the hall guests'
Grace. The bright circle of gold
Spoke the name of the savior of good
Men to the gathering, proclaimed to the eye
And mind of man the most glorious token,
Spoke though dumb of the suffering king
To all who could see in its bodied wounds
The hard carving of Christ. An unfulfilled
Prayer has no power in heaven; the dark
Soul will not find the city of saints,
The throne of power, the camp of God.
Let the man who knows how the wounds
Of the strange ring spoke as it passed round
The hall-twisting, turning in the hands
Of proud men---explain the riddle

the first one seems to be around religion in a way but im not getting a answer or atleast cant think of a good one
Book of Riddles - Z3R0 - 03-10-2006
>8) yes it is religously based. It is really quite simple, look for clues.
Book of Riddles - Venom - 03-10-2006

Book of Riddles - Z3R0 - 03-10-2006
No, it is not an angel. Try again.
