Riddle-Poems, and How to Make Them

http://catb.org/~esr/riddle-poems.html

I am always at your side. To a slab my tail is tied And my eyes are both inside my belly. Tickle my back, one/two/three! Wisdom and folly are yours to see.


The Moon is my father,
the Sea is my mother;
I have a million brothers,
I die when I reach land.



A hoard of rings am I,
but no fit gift for a bride;
I await a sword's kiss.



A wonder on the wave / water became bone.
- Book of Exeter
