Your Move: Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

The Shakespeare Teacher is out. It’s your move.

Today’s challenge is the Thursday Morning Riddle. The answer is:

RING

RING is correct. Way to go, Bill!

Now, you write the riddle.

Entries should follow the same format as earlier riddles: four lines of anapestic tetrameter with rhyme scheme AAAA (all four lines rhyme). Riddles are written in the first person (i.e., from the point of view of “Ring”). Semicolons are used to mark a change in word meaning. The word “Ring” should not be in the riddle, in any form.

Entries are due by June 1, and a winner will be chosen after that time.

UPDATE: Contest won by Anonymous. See comments for the riddle.
