Post some riddles, discuss, etc.
Here's one from the Exeter book:
The books tell us that this thing has been
among mankind through many ages
clear and manifest. A special power
it has much greater than any men know.
It wishes to seek all living beings
one by one; then goes its way;
no second night in the same place;
but homeless roves for ever and aye,
the path of exile. It is none the poorer.
It has neither foot nor hand, nor touches the ground,
nor two eyes nor mouth nor speaks with men.
It has no mind, but the books say
it is quite the poorest of all creatures
that were ever begotten according to nature.
It has no soul nor life, but makes its way
far and wide through this wonderful world
It has no blood, no bone, yet gives aid and comfort
to many men the wide world over.
It never reached to heaven, it may not to hell,
but forever it must live by the teachings
of the King of Glory. Long is it to relate
how its way of life will go thereafter
fate’s crooked ways.
This is a marvelous
thing to say: it is all true
that ever with words is told about it.
It has no limit. It lives nevertheless.
If you can straightway rede this riddle
with true words, tell what its name is.
