Ah neat idea. Not too long ago i came across some Celtic riddles lets see if anyone can figure these out...
1. What man is so mind-strong and spirit shrewd he can say who drives me in my fierce strength on fate's road when I rise with vengeance, Ravage the land, with a thundering voice rip folk-homes, plunder the hall-wood: Gray smoke rises over rooftops--on earth the rattle and death-shriek of men.
2. I shake the forest, blooms and boles, rip trees, Wander, roofed with water, a wide road, pressed by might.
3. On my back I bear the water that once wrapped earth-dwellers, flesh and spirit.
4. Say who shrouds me and what I am called who carry these burdens.
5. Sometimes I plunge through the press of waves to men's surprise, stalking the sea-warrior's fathomed floor.
6. The white waves whip, foam-flanks flaring, the ocean rips, the whale's lake roars, rages--Savage waves beat on the shore, cast rock, sand, seaweed, water on the high cliffs as I thrash with the wave-power on my back and shake under blue, broad plains below.
7. I cannot flee from the helm of water till my lord lifts me to a higher road.
8. Say, wise man, who it is who draws me from sea-clutch and cover as the deep.
9. Sometimes my lord seizes and shoves me, muscles me under the broad breast of ground, packs my power in a dark, narrow prison, Where the hard earth rides my back.
10. I cannot flee from the weight of torture, yet I shake the home-stones of men: Horn-gabled mead-halls tremble, walls quake, perch over hall-thanes, ceilings, cities shake.

Phanari Unlike Richard, I love riddles. Can't get enough of them. So this thread is for posting riddles and we can all solve them. PM the person who sets the riddle with the answer so that it's not spoiled for anyone. Here's mine. Only one color but not one size Stuck on the ground by easily flies Present in sun but not in rain Doing no harm and feeling now pain. What am I?
And for Platinum's riddles.........is 9 a shovel? I don't know, these are hard. I like 'em! |
