To start it off (and no, I haven't forgotten the other dialogue I promised)...as far as I remember, these haven't been used in a dialogue yet...

I love your plumpness
Ripe, brown skin
puckered like a camel's nose
I want to squeeze you end to end
roll the promise of you
between my teeth
till your rum soul whistles
and sun floods me

Time and again we're cut down to size
Long out of favour and too low-borne
In our extended family, however well-placed close cousins
Brighten dull display--not to loud, not to flash
Jealous of all the attention, we feel undermined
But we don't stay turned in on ourselves
Growing in confidence
We make a stand for unrestricted life
Until once more we're cut down to size

Many creatures don't have one
But I have two
Each one is a loner, but lives with four brothers
How well in a cradle this creature soothes

One eye crystal, one eye flame, it arrives by stealth. Carrying tatters in its jaw, nimbus in its hair. Who can tell on water if shadow's nibbling into light or light at shadow's edge? Thus, it is mouth and tail, hoof and horn, ice or thaw, none knows what rears its head. Its scavenges on breath. Baits ear and voice, voice and ear, by these its mates. Eradicates, illuminates. Done, hunches down to ponder how weak, how bright its chain...

A bright red flower he wears on his head;
His beautiful coat needs no thimble nor thread;
And though he's fearsom, I'll have you know
Ten thousand doors open when he says no!
What is it?

[Bri]

A young lady was walking through her
meadow and scattered her golden pearls
The Moon saw this, yet didn't tell her
The Sun woke up and gathered the pearls.

I am found to be swifter than fire or wind. I travel to unknown worlds which mortal eye has never seen and change them around in the twinkling of an eye.

[Bri]

Though blind I am, I lead the blind,
Which way so ever he's inclin'd;
I bear the man who first bears me
by which name you soon will see

[Bri]

It conquers the tiger, it conquers the lion, and it conquers the enraged bull;
It conquers men and kings. They all fall, overcome, at its feet.

[Bri]

Just two hairs grow upon her head,
But she wears a flowered gown
And dances along the flower bed--
The prettiest creature in town!

[Bri]

I have a tree of great honor
Which bears both fruit and flower;
Twelve branches this tree has
Fifty-two nests therein
And every nest has seven birds
And every bird has a differnt name
How may all this together be framed?

[Bri]

I stand on four legs, my arms turned toward people
High and low bow for me
But I never bow for anyone

[Bri]

What is it that belongs to you,
But others use it more than you do?

[Bri]

Brown I am and much admired;
Many horses have I tired;
Tire a horse and worry a man;
Tell me this riddle if you can.

[Bri]

Name you and you destroy me.

Thanks

And if anyone wishes to take a shot at these riddles, we can make a separate thread, I spose.

[Bri]

I'll be adding a few more to this list later today, just didn't want anyone to think I forgot...I don't know how many more riddles to go though...and as I said, contribute some if you want (Or if you wish, just PM me with it).

When the next version of Tashia gets released, you will be given credit.

Sometimes black, sometimes white.
I have veins, but no blood.

What is it that fits against your belly and is wet when it is in,
dry when it is out, and makes you sweat when you work it?
