Riddles by Vi

1: Tree?

1. Yep, I agree, a tree is the answer.

2. Tadpole/frog/prince?

3. Carrot?

1) tree is correct!
2) Frog prince is correct!
3) you're the second person who said carrot, which I suppose is right considering the clues I gave. My fault for making a sucky riddle. I have since revised it:

3.

You could pick me up easily,
(but I still have some weight.)
I'm low-calorie
(but you still might gain weight.)
And I can help you see,
(I'm so fast you won't have to wait.)
What could I be?
(I'm not a carrot.)


4.

Alive, I was silent, and deep in the sea.
But now that I'm dead, people listen to me.


5.

Sometimes I travel around the world
without even leaving your house,
Sometimes I am a little bed
for the one who hunts the mouse.
Sometimes I get taken for walks
When I'm a dog, you see.
Sometimes I just pace up and down,
so guess, what can I be?

4. A shell

4) yep, a shell.

Give me some feedback on whether these are so easy theyre not even worth it, or if you think theyre to ambiguous or don't rhyme enough or whatever. If you want good new original riddles, I need input.

unanswered: 3, 5,

6.

Oh windy day, shall you bear me away
Up into the sky?
Far from my brothers, apart from my mother
Together we will fly.

Or maybe cling, as a changing thing,
Left up here to die.
And for what reason? Merely the season.
I ask you, what am I?


7.

Today I made Rob forget all about his dentist appointment;
He didn't want to go.
You might not know Rob, but I know him better than anyone.
He doesn't know me well, though.
Tonight he'll dream of dentists chasing after him,
This I know.
But when you think of Rob you're thinking of me too,
Who am I, do you know?


8.

Black-white-black-- I'm not an oreo,
White-black-white-- or a chocolate-filled cake.
White-black-white-- or a jam sandwich,
Black-white-white-- or anything you bake.

5. Flea?

8. Piano keyboard.

6. blowball seeds of the dandelion

5) a flea is a cute idea, but incorrect, seeing as they don't travel around the world without leaving your house or pace up and down very often.

8) Yes, a piano keyboard.

6) A Seed is close, but not correct. It doesn't fit into the second verse in the way that the correct answer does.


Unanswered: 3, 5, 6, 7,

8.

Look at me! I'll turn you upside down.
Sometimes I'm on your lips, but I'm not a frown!
I've tasted almost every flavour known to man.
So tell me what I am, if you can.

6. a leaf
7. Rob's subconscience?

6) Yes, a leaf. makes much more sense than a dandelion seed, what with the changing and dying because of the season.

7) I've never heard of a subconscience mind, but Rob's Subconscious is the right answer. I thought this riddle was a little cute and different, don't you agree?


unsolved: 3, 5, 8,


9.

I steal the souls of children,
I leave marks on your eyes,
I hunt the rich and famous,
I can disprove your lies.

I love to blackmail people,
I will embarrass you,
I'll even make you fat!
So tell me what I do.


10.

I fly through the air when angered,
I fly up into the air when I know,
I flutter about when flustered,
I have no wings, though.

1. tree 3. carrott

9. Photographer or Paparazzi

8. A Tongue ?

"I've never heard of a subconscience mind"

Oops!

I think there are two number 8's.

Gah, there are two number 8s! I've changed the second to 8.5





9) Photographer is correct!
8.5) When was the last time you looked at a toungue and it turned you upside-down? Quite a curiosity, that is.

Unsolved: 3, 5, 8.5, 10,

11.

Water draws me out of hiding,
Else I wait among the canes.
I hover o'er those who are striding.
Gusts and gales! They are my bane.
Not animal, plant or tree.
Here's your clues. What can I be?

11. Mist

8.5. A smile?

(BTW: My tongue can turn upside down .... FYI. )

11) Not mist. Mist is water itself, not drawn out of hiding by it. There is a much much better answer.
8.5) You can turn a frown upside down to get a smile, but looking at a smile isn't likely to turn YOU upside down.

Unsolved: 3, 5, 8.5, 10, 11

11. an umbrella
10. a hand
