I'm yellow, blue, red, and gold,
Prometheus' gift and very old.
Conquering the world over night
Made me history's most sacred light.
Seen in the ground and up in the sky,
My name to those is an alarming cry.
Also a verb that means to throw,
Gaining velocity helps me grow!

Another opportunity to befuddled me...hm...
I think you've given a pretty good description so I'll send you my IM~vj -
Yay, saw a play about prometheus yesterday, so this one made me feel all nice and clever....well it softened the disappointment of not figuring out the last one...
-
Hrmm... this is part one of that series you completed recently, ja? Though we got the answer, the part about "gift to folks and very old" doesn't make any sense... why would you give this to old people? Wait... unless you mean that this was a gift to people (mythology again! lol I should have seen that) and that it itself is very old. Aahhhh. Well, now that I'm done enlightening myself, let me congradulate yet another wonderous riddle!
*Uba* -
I think i know this one too. I'll send an Im.

Carl, you are funny, Wonder Babe? She really is! For anyone who doesn't get this, he means Touchof1der. LMAO, you rock Carl! Thanks for the input. Peace, David

LMAO. I see Wonder Babe got this one. Why doesn't that surprise me. She's a smart one, that girl is.

Honestly Wendy, i used to be horrible until i began writing them! I guess some form of osmosis happened, and well it wouldn't be too cool if even though i have over fifty, that i wouldn't be good at solving them. I explain some of how i got started with them in the one about "hands" that begins with, "You could find us on a ship." But, why wouldn't you want to be the first to guess, or solve? I could be stubborn and not let guesses count, but that wouldn't be fun which is the reason behind this form, the oldest form of poetry, by the way! Thanks for your comments and see you soon, peace
Edited on Feb 21, 9:02 p.m. because ''. -
My problem with riddles is that i always think the answer must be something much more complex that it is.... and therefore, i read way too much into it, when i should go with my initial gut reaction.
Well done!
~ Wendy -
That is a great guess hellizacomin, but you are close!
-
No, not searchlight, but your getting "hot" lol
-
Hey presently, that's a damn good guess because you got it once again! Great job Touchof1der; you guessed correctly. Thanks for the comments and attention, I'll be checkin' on your stuff soon. Peace

Danna, nothing throws you! You are the thrower! lol I like the fact that the lexicon is your close ally, the clearest sign of a good writer, unfortunately, many on this sight don't agree with this; sometimes i am lazy, and am just as guilty and not up to proofing as well (but, I love to look up words). Thanks as usual for your astute input, peace!
Edited on Feb 21, 9:00 p.m. because ''. -
Touchof1der, you really are starting to aggravate me: You are correct, so don't start throwing shoes, dishes, books, and the kitchen sink! You are good! Please limit your "guesses" as you are making me work overtime on these riddles and I'm supposed to be on vacation this week, hehehe, Peace--ME

I looked for a verb that meant "to throw" and of you check out that page, you will see that "sky" comes up, the definition is: verb: throw or toss with a light motion. That is why I guessed sky. I guess I am just not used to poetic riddles. This one threw me
-
You are such a snot!!
-
The closest one so far is touchof1der, and i really don't want her to get it tonite, either!
-
Hey Danna, what do you mean about the verb? I don't hear or feel you on this one, but just askin' anyway,lol. Peace
-
Hey... I have that song by the Steve Miller Band ---> Jungle Love!
-
Touchof1der, isn't that a song by Steve Miller? "You're makin' me crazy, ... jungle love!" LOL You need this in the jungle too, but I don't want to post a new riddle tonight, i've already posted two, and that's it! No more riddles or someone get's hurt. ya got it? Don't make me whip out my "9" and give the answer to this riddle, ya hear me, NOW?
Edited on Feb 21, 9:10 p.m. because ''. -
Cable?
Conductor? -
Oh No!!
You have me hooked and now you want to leave me hanging! I'm devastated! Woe is me!
-
You are really close and I ain't givin' you no more clues! As it is you keep making me put up new riddles much more frequently than i wish because of your astuteness, lol. No more hints, or I'll be out of riddles in a week... NO RIDDLES FOR YOU -- I AM RIDDLE GRINCH!

You know this is making me crazy!!

Danna, sweetie, step outside that most recent clichet called the box and look at the world in the most, simple, basic, historic way and catch the wonder that keeps us all going!
-
Lightning rod???
-
I keep thinking fireworks...
-
It's not a nipple, lol, but maybe I will start another series with that idea. Thanks
Edited on May 28, 10:01 because 'Why? why not!'. -
Ummmm the only thing I can think of is the sky itself, and I get that from the verb that means to throw, otherwise I would say the sun, the moon, Mars, Venus...
Interesting riddle-poem, written with good images. -
i have no idea! can i have a hint?
