These are riddles, but they are also poems, so:
~~~
A Redwall Book
Within me rests ancient words,
Divided into three neat thirds,
Understand and learn from me,
A world beyond you will see.
I am one of many others,
Read aloud by many mothers,
I was once a growing tree,
But now in ink I am a key.
I open a door to another world,
A whole reality to you unfurled.
I tell my tale without a voice,
To read and rejoice is really your choice.
~~~
Silence
I am quiet, no noise I make,
Any sound will make me break,
Give me fuel, make no sound,
But never to me you shall be bound.
You cannot touch but you can feel,
My quiet presence not quite real,
I am the lack of sound perhaps,
Too fragile and easy to collapse.
~~~
Autumn
Flaming leaves, cloudless skies,
Breeze that whistle through the woods,
The heat is gone, but warmth remains,
And everyone store their winter goods.
Soon shall come the heavy snow,
Gone is blazing bright sunlight,
Leaves are flaming, fiery red,
And coming earlier is dawn of night.
Hear the birdsong, twittering chirps,
But when I wake, in fore-dawn dark,
I tip my ears and try to hear,
But do I hear the singing lark?
Build your food stocks, store away,
Say goodbye to our avian friends,
They are going ever south,
Just as the cold of winter descends.
I come alone as one among four,
Let pass summer, and before it spring,
Who am I, I dare you say,
As I begin my song to sing.
~~~
Flowers
When heavy frost does melt away,
I am here and here to stay,
My heavenly smells do trap some in,
We all do, those of my kin.
I am violet and I am white,
Sometimes I shall glow through night,
I am yellow and bright pink-red,
When by water and sunlight fed.
I was born and I will die,
But my blood will soar ever high,
Until they land and begin to live,
And through them I will again relive.
Sometimes venom I shall have,
With other my soil I shall halve,
I have many shapes and forms,
Together lasting many storms.
You know me, but you I not,
You can think; I have no thought,
Answer my question, do not lie,
Who am I?
~~~
