Riddles with Answers

My Brief Foray into Writing Riddles is Over!

Mike Oberg
OK, I've tried my hand at writing Haiku riddles. I learned that for most people riddles are apparently more fun to write than to solve . And I learned the 5-7-5 syllable structure that makes a haiku! But since I started this, I will finish it with the answers for the masses of people that want to know!

For those that didn't read my first article, I will repeat the riddles (not haikus):

Riddle #1:

People often look at me

But they rarely see me

What is my name?

Riddle #2:

I cross the road every day

But I never travel far

What is my name?

And now for the answers.

Answer #1:

When we look at each other,

I see you and you do, too!

It's not a reflection on you,

but a reflection on me!

For you see, I am a mirror.

Answer #2:

When crossing roads,

I carry the loads.

Making the journey in one hop,

after the crossing, I must stop

Because I am an overpass.

OK, unless I get a popular mandate for more, these will be the last of my short career as a riddle writer. I will return to what I know best -- publishing slideshows.

    Oh, NOW I see this article. Okay. For me, writing AND solving riddles is equally impossible.
