A Lonely Fall
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
Alone I fall to the earth and raise as many in rebirth.
Grind and sift and pound me down,
I raise again a golden brown
So you may live through my defeat
What am I ?

Very good riddle.
that was simple
Good riddle!! I thought it was an acorn or tree...
I, also, thought it was an acorn or some type of tree.
Doh! I thought it was bread!
whoa...
Some advice: Think laterally. (whatever THAT means.).
Bread doesn't rise and then drop itself to create itself once again.
Good teaser... Almost had me stumped but I think the first line gave it away.

That was a good, but simple to figure out

That was really good! Loved it!!!!!!!!
John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
wheat...bow!
I must be dumb because I don't get it.
very good. very easy.
Nice riddle. Took some thought before I came up with it. Thanks for posting.
i liked this one!
At first I thought acorn, but then I was stumped. I never got wheat, the closest I got was bread.
we make our own bread once in awhile, so this one wasn't too hard for me to figure out... excellently composed and a lot of fun to solve!
WE EAT it
Nice riddle, but easy. I got it straight away .
(I think the hint makes it too easy...)

very nice. the only part i don't get is the first line. "alone I fall . . . and raise as many". I guess I'm thinking that one grain of wheat alone can't make any bread at all. It takes many. So why "alone"?
tahoe
perhaps because you plant a single grain of wheat "alone"and from it you get a stalk with "many" grains
Nice riddle ! Only had to read it twice to get it! well done.

great one!!!! i'm not usually good at riddles, but i got this one no problem!!!!!! yay!
Pound me correctly, I got it right on the second try. I don't understand the defeat of what? Not being able to withstand the shedding or grazing or being grounded into another substance.?
Good teaser, I first thought of pollen. Yeah, good work.
all i could think of was potatos and pumpkins
