Sometimes I Enter With a Gong
I’m a word, six letters long,
I sometimes enter with a gong.
All in order from A to Z,
I start with the letter B.
What is the word?
Begins
It has six letters, when a meditation begins they sound the gong, and the letters are in alphabetical order.
Where None Should Be
One where none should be,
Or maybe where two should be,
Seeking out purity,
In the kings trees.
What am I?
A unicorn
Different Sizes, Colors and Shapes
What comes in different sizes, colors and shapes but creates a larger whole?
A jigsaw puzzle piece.
The Most Precious Commodity
What is the most precious commodity?
That which when needed seemingly is never enough,
Yet otherwise can be boringly plentiful.
While waking is oft dreamt of,
Whilst pining can scarcely be thought of.
For beings, is allotted in finite but indefinite quantity.
The more that’s given, the more is wasted.
Freedom is akin though this is something more simple,
Not related to virtue or sin.
Unless perhaps, without freedom, or its limit.
What is it?
Time.

Mountain Covered With Snow
Why doesn’t a mountain covered with snow catch cold?
Because it has a snowcap. ;) I know, it was more joke than riddle, but I found it amusing.
I Can Sound a Gong
I’m in bowling and baseball,
For better or for worse,
On a match (but not the sporting kind),
I can sound a gong,
And I’m gone.
What am I?
Strike.
A strike in bowling is good. In baseball it’s good for the pitcher but not for the batter. You can strike a match to light it. When the clock strikes one a gong sounds and when you strike a paragraph, it’s gone.
Growing Tall But Never Fat
This on this.
That on that.
Growing tall,
but never fat.
What am I?
A stack.

I Tell You When to Start
I tell you when to start,
Or remind if you forget.
I smash others to break them apart,
But I’m pushed by another of me.
What am I?
Cue. A cue tells you when to start, or if you forget your lines in a play. A cue ball is used to break at the beginning of a game of pool and the cue stick is used to push the cue ball on the break.
Another interesting tidbit is that cue is how you spell the letter q if you’re writing it out.
Mountain at Night, Morning a Meadow
In the night a mountain in the morning a meadow. What am I?
A bed.
Born In the Ocean
Born in the ocean,
White as snow,
I’m hidden in water,
Where do I go?
What am I?
Salt. Salt is harvested from seawater, it’s white and it dissolves in water.
