Early Ages The Iron Boot Tread
Early ages the iron boot tread,
with Europe at her command.
Through time power slipped and fled,
’til the creation of new holy land.
Who am I?
Italy / Rome.
A Home But No Family
I have an end but no beginning, a home but no family, a space without room. I never speak but there is no word I cannot make. What am I?
A keyboard.
Inscribed On My Face
Marking mortal privation when what’s under me is in place.
An enduring summation, inscribed on my face.
What am I?
A tombstone (or gravestone, headstone, monument, you get the idea).
Pronounced As One Letter, Written With Three
Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I’m double, I’m single,
I’m black, blue, and gray,
I’m read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?
Eye. It’s pronounced like the letter ‘i’, but written with three letters. There are only two letters used (‘e’ and ‘y’). The eye is double with two ‘e’s and represents a single eye. The eye is made up of various colors, some of which are black, blue and gray. And lastly, the eye is a palindrome, spelled the same forward and backward.
A Blood Red Shroud
The thunder comes before the lightning,
And the lightning comes before the cloud,
The rain dries all the land it touches,
Wrapping the earth in a blood red shroud.
What am I?
A volcano.
