Check the calendar, check the date
At any time of any day or any night
that’s certainly not the time to find a mate!
Yet the flame that burns the soul surely would be nought,
but for the kite that leads our hearts into flight
With it’s ups and downs, I could be wrong, but I think I’m right
the key is to Love... and to Love at First Sight
 
Very wonderfully done
You win the honor of the next one
My wife is downstairs getting ready for Christmas
I’m looking forward to a riddle that can’t miss

Cheers!
Dan
 
Ah, Christmass! Where witches gathered in their masses... twist 'round and smack their asses. The season where Slay Bells singing can't stop the screamining of souls now dreaming and Sugar Plumbs streaming from Heaven no...
streaming from...

The Riddle of Heaven and Hell!

The first four are not bad.
The last four are not good.
The three in the middle
(playing second fiddle with the devil)
simply connect the ends of this religious riddle.

The answer I've seen could have birthed Christmass and even Halloween!

Sorry my friend, I don't like to be mean,
but when it comes to your plight, Hey, don't worry, of course you are right!
Hope you're not tired of all this stupid drip
Heads up - Tag! you're it!

Merry Christmass to all, and to all a good fright!
 
I'm the biggest of my kind you'll find around,
Although I keep my bulk close to the ground.
When I stalk you I will not let out a sound
'Til with tooth and nail I come to take you down.

As for tooth and nail, I've got some, and to spare,
But not even one single, teeny tiny hair.
When I bite you, you might run, but still beware:
Your troubles will not end right then and there.

If I take chase, you best run, or down you'll go;
On my belly as I pursue I'm not slow.
Who am I, have you figured? I'll have you know
I'm the ______ from the isle of ______.
 
I’ll give this one a go
But as usual my mind is slow
My brain’s first smile is crocodile
From the isle of chicks gone wild
So my answer is crocodile and Florida
That’s where my mind is while wearing my fedora
 
Croc's got a nasty grimace, that's for sure.
I wouldn't like to meet him at my door.
He's probably the biggest of a kind,
But he's not the beast that I had in mind.

Our good man Dan came close, but here's the thing:
Among the lizards there is just one king.
If he nips you, you'll spend many fev'rish nights
Recov'rin' from this bastard's septic bites.
Don't count on him to end up like the dodo;
He's the Dragon from the isle of Komodo.
 
GnomeBrewer it’s upon you once again
Your answer was awesome and makes me grin
Since starting this thread many of my answers to riddles have just been wrong
But I continue on with riddle rhyme song
When you’re ready please give us another
Thank you my riddling rhyme brother
 
Sorry all for the late riddle, I've been away for the past few days with no internet. Here's the riddle - it's not mine but from Stephen King's 'the Dark Tower'. Here goes.

Not chest nor box is now discussed
Money can be held in it,
but just as we test it's metal, within it there is rust

What is it?
 
Heart's a good guess, I'll give you that
But it isn't the answer that I'm getting at
It's not a thing you can touch or feel
But it can hold money and often a great deal
Rust is in it is a cryptic clue
Does that help any of you?
 
I have a back, but never need it scratched.
I have legs, but I have never walked.
I have a seat, but I've never sat down
And I have hair, but not the kind you comb.
Name me true, and you'll wear the crown.
Name me false, and carry your shame home.
 
A good one FatDragon, the fourth line had me stumped
Then the answer "chair", out it jumped
It has hair after the c
Is that what it would be?
 
Forgive my tardiness. 'Twas late last night
I meant to say you got it right,
But wifey said, "Turn out the light
And put your cell phone outta sight."
Your turn is next, but if time's tight,
We'll wait, and maybe fly a kite.
 
This one's an old one that has no doubt been asked somewhere in the 50+ pages.

What can run but never walk,
Can breathe but cannot talk.
Can't be chosen but can be picked,
What's your answer? Tell me quick.
 
Old though it may be
It’s a new one to me.
I recall a run of fence
But it made me quite tense
Since a fence can be picket
But cannot be picked.
Then it hit me in the face
In the middle of that place
Such beautiful prose
To describe a nose.
 
My arms in darkness reach into the black
Though my mouth may be open only a crack.
I’m a leviathan of earth rather than sea
And death awaits those who plumb my belly.
Should I lure you in and trap you within me
A dark death of hunger will your last days be.
Should you however carry a light
My treasure is yours and is your delight.
 
Beermanpete of course you got it
No darker place can people sit.
If you want to have a strange experience
Turn off your light to see odd deliriums.
I’ll have you know it’s all the rave
To get down and dirty and explore a cave.
My turn can now begin
For your riddle to make me scratch my chin.
 
I offer a bit of a departure from the norm,
Not exactly a riddle in its form,
A mixture of crossword, rebus, and pun,
At the very least, I hope that it's fun.

The land of fire and brimstone + an expression of surprise
Not an enlisted man
An ocular organ + "that's delicious!"
Twisted wood
Imbibed
Fair and righteous
The first of the 'bet
What Charlie did to 'me'
Rotating pneumatic cushion + Delta

If you've been driving
And you're seeing double,
It's what you might say
To stay out of trouble.

****?!
 
No response for days
Sad in so many ways
Perhaps my riddle is too easy
or the rhymes make you queasy
Shall I offer a clue
Of go back to sniffing glue?
 
I am sorry for the delay
For this I shall surely pay
The subject of this riddle is a singer
and actress who was a humdinger
Cat Woman the third was she
and the best of them says me
Her family name sounds like
David Hasselhoff's car
these are the clues, such as they are

btw, the original post should have read:

As Cat Woman I am bold
I sing about Miss Rheingold
But have not had beer,
My Dear

by the time I noticed the spelling mistake
the edit button was dead
for this 20 lashes I will take
 
I've left you high and dry without a riddle o'er a week.
You might reasonably curse me in a fit of righteous pique.
There's just one thing sucks worse than me, name it, it's your turn.
Just keep the hose end far away from your grandpa's urn.
 
Alright, another one from 'the Dark Tower' series....

Walk on the living, they don't even mumble;
Walk on the dead they mutter and grumble.

What are they?
