Riddle Me Another One

Back with another little riddle contest. But a few changes from the last one, so here we go.

I have provided a riddle below, and for your entry into this contest, you have to answer it.

Here is what you will need.
- the answer, obviously
- something poetic between 2 and 5 lines (in other words don't just write the answer, or "the answer is blah blah")
-make it stand out
- I pick my winners by what jumps out to me, food for thought!

A few requests:
- please don't change your answers after looking at other entries. If I find that you have changed afterwards, I will DQ it.
- your answer must be somewhere in the entry or your author's notes. If I have to try and guess what you meant, it won't work.
- readable fonts on backgrounds please.

-don't care what category, if you can make it fit in such a such category...go for it. Just label appropriately!!!


I will not comment on any entries until after judging for fairness to all entrants.

I will award three trophies, but only gold gets the points. (now there's incentive, lol)

I will leave this open at least through midnight tonight, but may close at any time. Probably tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck
Storm

Oh yeah...the riddle...

Where light seems dark and dark seems light
I could be day, I could be night

I am the goal, for orbs to crest
But also where those orbs will rest

A meeting place of near and far
For soiled banks and evening stars

On open road, look straigh and see
A vision of beauty to behold, it's me

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 11, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Some interesting writing for this one. But all beautiful in their own way.

    The answer, if you didn't already know was Horizon. Got lots of imagery in this, and had to read them a few times to really see what popped for me. Excellent work to all

    I will be commenting on all entries shortly, so again, bear with me.

    Thanks to everyone, and I am sure I will have another one of these up tonight or tomorrow.
