This is a challenging riddle game! Write a riddle in Haiku (For more on Haiku, look at the Barrow-Downs Haiku contest details).

I will start!

Leader of my land
And wearer of the winged crown
Who, think you, am I?

You are very right!

Another question!

Re: Haiku Riddles!

A place of great evil,
Deep in the Dark Lord's domain,
But a weapon against him.

Some say I'm very old,
yet not the oldest or grey'st,
for I didn't come first.

I guess it's okay to revive this...
 
He will not return
To the land of Lorien
As a living man.

Who is the haiku talking about? Once you guess correctly, it's your turn to make a riddle in haiku form!
(A haiku is a poem consisting of three lines: the first line has 5 syllables, the second 7 syllables, the third 5 syllables. Short and sweet - and to the point :) ).

Firefoot 10-21-2004 06:14 AM

Looks like a fun game. :)

Aragorn.

Evisse the Blue 10-21-2004 08:04 AM

Correct, your turn!

Firefoot 10-21-2004 01:16 PM

Once he sailed westward
Crownéd with the living light
Now he sails new seas.

NightKnight 10-21-2004 03:07 PM

Eärendil?

Firefoot 10-21-2004 03:14 PM

A-yep.

NightKnight 10-21-2004 03:18 PM

Oh crap, that means I have to make one up... :p

Son of the forest
An unusual friendship
And love for the sea

There you go. :p

Fingolfin II 10-22-2004 01:40 AM

Cool game- is it Legolas?

NightKnight 10-22-2004 07:43 AM

Yes, it is. Too easy, wasn't it?

Fingolfin II 10-29-2004 09:10 PM

Hmm.....was fairly obvious, but I suppose it's hard to make it hard in this game. Anyway-

Oldest and strongest,
Bound by the terrible curse,
That endures longest.
