SO ONCE, as a competition, my friends and I wrote our own riddles! Some of these are pretty hard, but see if you can guess any of my riddles!
1. trotting, trotting, stench of death. mournful hymn on every breath. what am I?
2. I spent my whole life in three different stages, and one of these in a few layers of cages. Delicate, gentle, I always fly high my paper-thin wings against floating blue sky. What am I?
3. Glory has on sand been laid, tradition here has now been slayed. The crown has passed from them to me and I am different, you see. Who am I? (a specific person in history)
4. equality and bravery, silver 'round for all to see. Wooden and symbolically, and now we let the lances flee. What am I?
5. Spinning and moving, Some say I'm soothing, I'm constantly gaining and losing. What am I?
6. Some people say I am a thief, but that's not really fair. 'Circular' is more my thing, and great feasts for me are rare. What am I?
7. Brothers and sisters have not I, I'll turn you to anger in the blink of an eye. I heighten the fury and make the heart cold and tales of mere rage are the tales that I've told. What am I? (There are a few answers that I will accept for this)
8. I dance in the wind and I spark in the air though someone might say I have a bit of a flare. What am I?
9. The depth of betrayal on military reign, the dirt is my throne and dry is my vein. Who am I? (another specific person)

Wow, if not brain-racking, these riddles are written beautifly! x3 They sound so mystic it would almost be impolite to try and guess them! But I'm gonna try anyway XD 1. Umm... I'm going to guess the Grim Reaper. But it's possibly off by a mile ^^' 2. A butterfly, I think 3. I'm guessing Barack Obama, though I'm not sure. 5. A mental image of a yoyo popped into my head, but I don't think that's it XD Just thought I'd try ^^ No clue about the others though. But they really are amazingly written! I'm very impressed. Kudos to you and your friend! n__n

Thank you so much! I have a deeply-rooted love for poetry.
I'm sorry to tell you that only number 2 is right (I almost typed "write" and didn't notice it, darn me!), although a yoyo is a pretty good guess for number five!
The trick to number three is the words "on sand". Maybe that'll give you a hint.

4 sounds like the knights of the round table to me xD *slaps forehead*
My guess for 7 would be insanity xD
And then I'm blank, these are really good xP Though I must admit that they make me feel stupid xD

The only thing that pops into my head for 9 is Czar Nicholas...Anastasia's daddy ...with the betrayal and bolshevik's revolution and such....

All of those are VERY good guesses, although only the Knights of the Round table is correct! Insanity isn't one of the words, sorry. And while Czar Nicholas is a fantastic guess, that's not who it's written for.
But good tries! Any more guesses?
And if anyone wants the answers, let me know and I can PM them to you!
