Since we are talking about riddles....


What is it
That cries out when it is born
And is then forever silent?

- and have to admit, it took me a while, but given the earlier "poems" on the topic, it just has to be a fart.
I think I know

For me, it certainly is a so-called "poem" which, from its title looks as if it might be interesting, but then falls flat on its face once you've read the first line or two because it is boring both in form and content. I'm not referring to yours or anyone else's poem for that matter. I expect you have discovered some of your own, but, of course, not on the GW website for certain.

It is in fact a note played by Gabriel's trumpet! Of course once it has been sounded that note is gone forever! A delicious 14th century riddle!

Is this Angel Gabriel we are talking about? What's so special about his trumpet besides being perhaps a celetial instrument?

You would have to ask someone wiser and much older than me!

Haven't got a clue... Considering it is medieval, I won't be surprised if Sue is right though.
