did someone guess wind yet?

[EdFred]

deoxyribonucleic acid

[vexx32]

I crawl about from deeps of Mother Earth

To the sparser reaches of highest holt.

A savage taint marks where I make berth,

My deft fingers bring all to tumult.

I am that which exists without form or mind,

An empty shade in the lifeless flesh of reality.

My skin is scarred only in the eyes of the blind;

My worries are dust to my neighbours' travesty.

My ceaseless wandering follows ancient ways,

And I wander endlessly from one to the next,

Inscribing them anew in the span of days,

Lest they be forgotten, or I become vexed.

This way, that, first here, then there,

My talons grow most everywhere.

The weakest link, the frailest note;

My mindless limbs, the Ancients wrote.

Who am I?

A black hole??

Nope.

did someone guess wind yet?

Not sure. But that's not it.

[sjwt]

Oblivion,

Loneliness.

[vexx32]

deoxyribonucleic acid

Nope.

Oblivion,

Loneliness.

Hmm, not bad, not bad. They both fit quite well... except for the fourth stanza.

Nope!

[Claw]

Is it....cracks?

Cheers,

~Claw

[vexx32]

We have a winner!

[Claw]

hahaha.

Since I haven't the time, I defer my spot to someone who might have a riddle ready.

~Claw

[KerBlam]

are you serious...? cracks.

CRACKS?

edit: CRACKS????

[EdFred]

You and cantab need to have your own riddle thread.

Next up guess my paternal grandparent's anniversary date: Go. On the plus side, it will probably take LESS guesses than vexx' or cantab's riddles.

As another hint, it's the same as my parents. (see it helps!)

:big-giant-huge-eyeroll:

[KerBlam]

Might as well change the name of the thread to "Everybody stab wildly in the dark at vague flowery descriptions that don't allude to anything to do with the answer"

Also, I'm not going to guess your grandparents anniversary. Who has a real riddle?

[EdFred]

Hahaha. I wasn't offering that as an actual riddle.

[Red Iron Crown]

On the plus side, there are only 366 possible guesses.

November 5th.

edit : wait was EdFred's post a riddle ?

[DavidBowman]

November 5th.

I see what you did there! (Unless you didn't mean anything!!)

[Norpo]

A flame

and made of steel

a vanishing trail

that leaves no trace

a profession

that relates to no end

a mule

but not of flesh

what am I ?

A plane (carrying cargo)?

EDIT: Or a rocket.

[EdFred]

edit : wait was EdFred's post a riddle ?

No, if it was I would have made it puzzle like.

[Red Iron Crown]

A meteor(ite)?

I see what you did there! (Unless you didn't mean anything!!)

Remember, remember...

[Nemrav]

A plane (carrying cargo)?

EDIT: Or a rocket.

A rocket, gj

A flame --what it looks like to an onlooker

and made of steel --idk close enough

a vanishing trail -- leaves a smoke trail

that leaves no trace --smoke disappears

a profession --rocketry

that relates to no end --space, infinity...

a mule --carries cargo

but not of flesh --not a litteral mule

what am I ? --filler

[Bill Phil]

So, Norpo's up next?

(This is Filler, Filler night. Your screaming for your life at the terrible fright, of Filler, Filler time)

Sorry, I just had to make a Thriller reference

[Xannari Ferrows]

It is empty and full

So amazing though dull.

Made of the whitest light

Where darkness is so bright.

It's fascinating to look at,

But what's really there?

We'll have to find out on our own,

And leave the clutches of our home.

What am I... quite frankly gushing about?

[vexx32]

Oi! It's not your turn!

But if I had to guess, that looks like the Moon.

[Xannari Ferrows]

Oi! It's not your turn!

But if I had to guess, that looks like the Moon.

Ah, I know it isn't. I just really wanted to use this one for a long time and I guess I just got impatient. So sue me! (don't really sue me though. That was just a figu... nevermind.)

Your answer though. It involves the moon and you, but is incorrect. (BTW that picture creeps me out.)

EDIT: Well, I guess it's not totally obsolete. It can be one of those riddles that you can answer funny things to just for a laugh. I know I would!

I guess it's space in general

I'm glad you jumped the gun because (Norpo) the guy who won the riddle was taking too long.

...Man, how'd you get it that fast? This kept everyone in real life I gave it to thinking about it for days!

Maybe I should work on another one to give in the future and make sure it's not super easy.
