Flights of Fancy
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
Explosive as the daylight and with the dust I tease,
I whisper through the willows, wreak havoc with the leaves.
You feel me on your face, and hear me in the night,
And with my lonely mournful cries I give you such a fright .
I dance across the landscape, carefree and full of gust,
You can chase me all around, try and catch me if you must .
And in the cold of winter I give you such a chill,
But with the spring I race young foals swiftly up the hills.
The clues now spoken you have my friend, have you guessed me yet ?
HintI dry the tear drops from children's eyes and chase away the storm cloudy skies.

| I liked it. it would have been harder if shorter. But the length added beauty to it. |

| Ditto most of the above. I got the answer from the second line (and I don't often get riddles), but the rest was pretty to read. |

| The answer came so easily,
Right from the very start,
But your words revealed upon the screen
Really touched my heart! |
