Riddles

Umm, without an update as to who may or may not have guessed it, I will present one of my own, should be pretty easy

Spoiler

What is a great expression of sorrow

But even greater joy to all who hear?

What grandeur greatly trembles the marrow

But is not, never, an object of fear?

 

With whom do we all regularly play

But is not any magnificent game?

With what do some gloriously display,

In their hopes of great wealth status and fame?

 

How can we express our deep emotion

Without any pairs of eyes to see us?

With what can we show our new devotion

Without ordinary, meaningless fuss ?

 

For what do we so desperately long?

That last question seems out of place, but I believe the answer is Voice or Song, not quite sure which you're looking for.

You got it, that riddle was a sonnet I wrote recently, but I took out the last line which contained the answer:

Quote

But to hear, nay to sing our deepest song

Another 3 days, but I won't let this thread die, I got another riddle

Spoiler

He is the sharpest, pointed, of them all

But smoother still than the smoothest of glass

The one, the darkest one that makes you fall

But he is still brighter than new brass

 

It builds up so much, brings up so, so much

To fall so low, falling so, very far

He helps us, heals many, he comforts such

But always loves to go so far to spar

 

To one some or none it gives lifting praise

To many or none it dashes all hope

For some it will lift high, them he will raise

But always crashes such that none can cope

 

What brings fame or flame, here from us, among ?

here's a hint: Its another incomplete sonnet, so the answer rhymes with the last word here, should be easy now... but now you have to get the exact word

Friday, Tom and Mark went out for lunch together. They enjoyed sandwiches, desert, and coffee. Afterwards the other customers, the restaurant staff, and an off-duty police officer all clearly saw Tom and Mark leave without paying, and nobody said anything or tried to stop them. Why not?
