Trace me back in language and time,
Through money and "evil" still I climb.
Movement well-known, thriving underground,
Flourishing cultures,numbers, and sound.
From artistic creation to athletic poise,
A stadium hushed then erupting in "noise."
Cellar and stock found at the core,
(Staples and crops, hearty to store).
Fruit, sauce, spices-- aromas to taste,
Medicinal herbs, garlic, ginger paste!
Walnut, apples, peaches with pear,
Syrup, juices, coffee, and beer.

I have some what of an idea of what it is but you have to look deep at it.

poemmac,
Your use of the word "deep" tells me that you are on it and may have it solved. Please send me an i.m. with your answer and if you are correct I shall announce to all that you've solved it. Thanks and I hope that you solve many of the others on my page. Thanks for your words and best wishes.

a59teeth,
First, your name is a riddle and I wonder is it referring to an animal (or even plant) that has 59 teeth?
Thanks for your compliments and generous words of encouragement; they are much appreciated at this time.
Honestly, I was never that good at solving riddles either,but through some twist of fate, I began writing them for convicts in a prison that I was teaching at, and one led to another and another and so on-- because I was baffled and astounded at how mesmerized they were in trying to solve them; it were as if they were trying to metaphysically free themselves, temporarily from the physical bonds of incarceration.
Thanks again and if you are interested, I have many poems that are not riddles, and someday I hope to organize them. Best wishes.

I have a fair idea.. this is quite unlike any poem I have read on here. I like the riddle idea kind of reminds me of JRR Tolkein.

Thank You YesterdaysDreams
Your compliment is great and I thank you for it. Though I could never compare myself to JRR Tolkein, I appreciate your opinion. Thanks again and peace, you rock!

Unknown....
I would offer something here but riddles just aren't my thing so much....so in terms of it's "stump me" factor I would have to give it 3 thumbs up
I think you distracted me by making me hungry, possibly.

Ding, ding, ding-- we have a winner. You are so correct with your guess fifteen days ago, yes that's right, errr, for over two weeks now you've solved this and had I not gone to check my old messages, then I would've still thought that nobody had solved this. Please forgive me for this blunder. And to think that you solved it with the background that you have, which is limited formal schooling, if any. You Rock, honey bear, way you go. Thanks too for adding to the discussion here, keep it flowing.
