Looking In, Looking Out
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
You may find fire within me
Though to water I've been compared.
You may also find a twinkle
When through my pane you stare.
When of wind I am the calm
The center holding still.
When of you, a different part
My bottom lid, my sill.
You may look into me
only to see through.
You may indeed look out of me
Through my frame of varied hue.
The riddle in three parts
as letters in my name.
The riddle shows you who I am
But tell me just the same.
Who am I?
HintA hint you have asked for
And one I will share.
Look into your mind
For one of me lies there.

| Can't think of when an eye is compared to water. Hmmm...
Beautiful poetry. |

| Perhaps when someone cries 
I like the riddle - I write them like that, too. Was it hard for you? Hehe. Somehow I doubt it, I don't think they are hard. Anyways, a good one  |

ahem, people sometimes say that an eye is like a pool;
Pool=Water  |

| I was thinking window, until you said it was three letters. Then the answer was clear. The eye. Thanks for the outstanding teaser. I loved it. Keep on posting.
