A Monstrosity
I stand tall and am made of steel,
With baguettes and garlic at my heel.
The hunchback’s house could see my head,
I’m more well known than a certain bread.
I love the colors red, white and blue,
But maybe not as much as you.
I’m a marvel for all to see,
Though to some I am a monstrosity.
What am I?
The Eiffel Tower
Many are Perplexed While Seeking Me
Many get perplexed in life while seeking me. Others put their life in danger and others give up. If you find me you are satisfied. What am I?
Hint: It is in every house.
You. Hundreds of books have been written about people searching for themselves. Some methods are quite dangerous. Still others give up. But if you figure out who you are, you will be satisfied.
Lastly, the word you is in the phrase everY hOUse.
I Make You See the Beauty of Nature
I make you see the beauty of nature through colors,
My name makes things weigh less
And I have no weight at all.
What am I?
Light. Without light you wouldn’t be able to see anything. And light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow. Adding light to a word can mean it weighs less and light has no mass.
A Red Robe and Staff In Hand
I wear a red robe,
With staff in hand,
And a stone in my throat.
Cut me and I weep red tears
What am I?
A cherry
There are a few other variations of this one:
As I went through the garden gap,
Who should I meet but Dick Red-cap!
A stick in his hand, a stone in his throat,
If you’ll tell me this riddle, I’ll give you a groat.
(Said to be the lyrics to A Cherry)
I slipped down a slippery gap,
Found a man with a red cap,
He had a stick in his back and a stone in his belly,
Riddle me this and I’ll give you a penny.
I Am Here, I Am There
I am here, I am there
I am burned into the mind of none
I walk on fire and live on ice
My words are meaningless for I talk not
I hate everyone yet fear no one
I have lived for centuries
Yet I have never existed
What am I?
Nothingness.
