Like a nice riddle every once in a while? You´ve come to the right place. Go ahead and start guessing away!
Oh.. one thing.. please don´t use the ´What´s it got in its pockets´ or anything like that. And try to be original...
Here´s one to start with:
Waving without hands,
many arms, many friends.
Many fingers, no rings,
never eats, only drinks.
Always stands, never walks,
sometimes sighes, never talks.

Re: thanks
The ocean or sea? Cause the ocean has waves, but no hands. Arms of the ocean, maybe? Bays could be a finger of the sea. The rivers flow into it, but I don't understand the last part. Or the part about the friends.
It seems fate is not without a sense of irony.</p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000045>Durelen</A> at: 2/17/01 9:04:03 pm

Re: no
I thought it was trees until I read 'no rings'. Is it bushes?

Re: oops!
You´ve discovered an error in my riddle... your first guess was correct, the answer is a tree. Of course I was referring to rings as in the round metal objects, but I never thought about the fact that trees have their own rings as well.
Anyway, your turn.. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Re: oops!
I'm afraid I don't know any riddles and have no skill at making them. Ask us another, gildor.

Hmmm...
Am I the only one who´s going to ask riddles? Well, I suppose I could make another one up. Isn´t there anybody else who knows any riddles?
In the mean time you can try this one (it isn´t mine):
'No sooner spoken than broken.'

This seems to have gone on too long.
The answer is of course light.
Sorry if there weren't enough clues.

Here:
Mighty Among Elves, yet empty of mirth,
After his death, never returned he to Middle Earth,
Treasures from him were stolen away,
A Quest was started by him so Fae.
And I can't rhyme worth a hoot,
If I was a minstrel, I'd feel the boot,
On my butt, I think. <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

Her husband's a wuss, though, all along.

Yes!
Gold was my hair, no flowers grew there,
When my sword was bare, balrogs beware!
When they drove us from our secret place,
We made away with haste, to another place.
But alas! We were assailed, but I did not fail,
Both of us fell after we fought, pell-mell.
But back I came, and am here again,
To ask you what be my name?

No! Wow, you guys are frozen! I'll give a little hint, the fellowship mentioned in the poem is The Fellowship in LOTR. Also focus on COLD. That is important.
"Good Morning!" said the dragon. "You seem surprised."
"Good Morning! said Farmer Giles. "I am that!"

That was a good one sam<img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">
I am the master of Doom
I lived at Doriath at my mothers boon
In gorgoroth were there is no moon
I killed my elf-friend and then i swooned
Gwindor helped me pass my fright
all the way through the lonely night
I married my sister who was under a spell
Then glaurung came and then she fell
I tracked him down and slew the beast
and there i died and brought back to the east
to lay there forever
Who am I?
