Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
They turn themselves over to me
Completely voluntarily
Knowing before they've departed
They'll end up near where they started
I may be called emotional
Loopy, perhaps commotional
For those brave souls who seek a thrill
I'm sure to nicely fit the bill
By a force of nature propelled
I'm courage-testing those compelled
Greeted with anxiousness and fret
Seldom exited with regret
What am I?
