Okay...but what do you mean by a "tag"?
Quote:
Suddenly a low voice murmured:
"Gil-Galad was an elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of Heaven's feild
were mirrored in his silver shield..

But long ago he rode away
and where he dwelleth none can say
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are. "

The others turned in amazement, for the voice was Sam's.

A Riddle Moved (per request of Alchrivëwen)
Okay, I never got to really try on the other thread, so...
All over the Barrowdowns me you'll find
some people think I'm not very kind
but if you don't to avoid me take heed;
I'll be sure and ruin a good read!

Yeah, easy...but it was the first thing to pop into my head.

No kidding! At least if it's going to snow, some of it could stay on the ground and give me a day off.

This one's not impressive, but it's late *yawn*:

This nag rides the night
Silent with fright
But all who are near
Know nothing to fear.

I don't think I will ever forgive nature for this! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] 25cm of snow on the first day of spring.Like my sister said this morning"it's winter time" she went on to say it was every other season(shes only three)but still, it's supposed to be warm!! School was closed every where else but here it's march break! A perfectly good storm wasted. and I had to get up early and go grocery shoping before the roads got to bad [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I am really bad at riddles and all things that require(sp?)thinking in general but someone think up a real easy one and I'll see what I can do.

Question

Sorry I made you wait. If I don't post a new one fast enough I don't mind if someone else takes a turn. (usually either my server has crashed or my Mother-in-law has come over, the latter being the worst nightmare)

Greenbow, could yours be a rainbow?

Here's one for guessing Maril's

Only one color,but not one size,
stuck at the bottom yet easily flies.
Present in sun but not in rain,
doing no harm and feeling no pain.
