It hatches like a bird, yet grows as fast as evil, it makes the earth quake, yet it stays still 4ever...what is it?
That's one of my lamest riddles. The most obvious one actually [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] But oh well...

Many thanks, Gandalf. I shall post a riddle as soon as I think of one (which may or may not take a while) and as soon as I can get to a computer (which may be from several days to several weeks.)
Samwise_Gamgee , thank you for your riddle! I have not cracked it yet...

River? It hatches from between the rocks as a tiny stream. It grows fast into a river though you cannot point out exactly when it becomes that. It makes the earth quake as a waterfall. The RIVER never moves, only the water. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It comes in, It goes out. To let it go for good is to die Hold it too tight and it never returns [ December 19, 2002: Message edited by: bombur ] |

Yep. Lame, aint it...
I'm better at solving them then inventing them. I'd rather just solve those I can without asking any in turn... |

Well, in the absence of anyone else...
Here's something short, that I wrote today. Seems pretty obvious to me, but then again, I wrote it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Armies march at my command, Yet I speak in no tongue of Man, I shiver, though not from fear, Though I carry it to those who hear, Grond I command, and orcish host, Hear my voice sounding Deep, and know you are lost. Have fun! [ December 21, 2002: Message edited by: Garen LiLorian ]

Is it Evil? I first thought either Melkor or Sauron, but then I thought evil [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] would be a better answer for a riddle.

Not evil, although that's a good guess.
It in itself is neither good nor evil, it simply is.

Susan, I'm here! Whew!
OK... my guess at this latest riddle is "thunder". |

...or perhaps a war horn?

"Horn" sounds good to me too.

No, no and no. Although, as a hint, I was inspired by Gandalf_theGrey's riddle.(to which the answer was "horn") Also, there is one hint in the riddle itself that you might be able to find, although it isn't obvious.

Yes, a hint, Garen. I am guessing that the capitalization of "Deep" may be a clue, but I am having a dumb streak.
Aragorn... is the answer to yours a sword? |

Aragorn, my guess at yours is an arrow, or maybe a bow and arrows or something along those lines.

Well, drums are often used to herald a marching army--that's the first two lines. And the "shivering" line; the drumskin vibrates every time it's struck.
I'll be back with my own riddle in a little while.

It's Christmas, Aragorn. People want to be with their families; you have to be patient.

Thank you.

Apologies, Aragorn_Protector. As Susan guessed my riddle at the same time as I guessed yours, I simply thought I'd let her go ahead, and we could keep it to one at a time. Since, however, the thread is empty at the moment, and with the gracious permission of Miz. Delgado, I'll go ahead and post another one.
Tiptoes, but there's a loud sound, You may think I'm white, but you'd be wrong. Thunder charge, lightning speed, Measure power by me. What am I?

Close enough. The answer is just "horse," but I'll accept Shadowfax. Your turn

Sorry, been busy. Family, you know. No reason we can't have more than one going at a time.
I run smoother than any rhyme. I love to fall but cannot climb. I can the heaviest burdens bear, yet tremble at each breath of air.

Heres mine and by the way another good answer to Susans would be an eagle. I know it is already answered but pretty good eh.
