Rhyming Riddles

Rhyming Riddles

Raptor

 

 Raptor of rough ranges,

Flyer fleet and fast;

Wheeler with the west winds;

By the linnet oft harassed.

 

My eyes are always fixed;

They turn not left nor right;

When I pull my ears down flat,

The meadow voles take flight!

 

I love the tallest trees,

And it really is a lark

To go out exploring

At nighttime in the dark.

 

You may find me in the woodlands,

Or beside the bubbling brooks;

I sometimes scout the swamps;

I delight in brainy books.

 

 

What am I? 

In and Out

 

 I’m long and skinny;

I go in and out;

I can work through the rain,

I can work through a drought.

 

Sometimes alone,

Sometimes with three;

You never can tell

Who’ll travel with me!

 

When I begin,

My things are quite small;

But the farther I go,

The wider the sprawl!

 

I contribute to beauty,

Playtime, and heat;

For use in soft craft,

I just can’t be beat.

 

 

What am I?

The Traveler

  

I travel a lot,

But stay in one place;

I spin till I’m dizzy,

While never leaving base.

 

Sometimes I’m slow;

Sometimes I’m fast;

I wish I could see

The scenes I’ve gone past!

 

I was born in the forest

Where the trees grow so thick;

When I’m new, I’m all rough;

When I’m old, I’ve gone slick.

 

Sometimes I’m noisy;

I howl and I squeal;

I always need air,

But never a meal!

 

 

 What am I?
