I've Got the Blues
Riddle

The pain is gone--it's old news
The memory though is hard to lose
Resulting in, today, the blues,
And dare I say, some darker hues
Can you please make it plain with these clues
What's this reminder of pain? Don't refuse.

Nice! I like how all the lines rhyme with the answer.
Very nice riddle. I love how the answer follows the poems rhyme scheme!
Great teaser, though for me a bruise i not so much a memory as it is a mystery. I bruise really easily, so will often have bruises that I have no idea where they came from.
Thanks for the comment, HABS2933. I wonder if you have a Vitamin C deficiency, one of the signs of which is a tendency to bruise easily, so much so, that often one has no idea where the bruise came from. Another sign would be if your gums bleed when you brush your teeth. Of course, this might not be it at all, but since some things, like stress, pain, and smoking rapidly use up Vitamin C, it might be. Why not try taking some Vitamin C--it's safe, and water-soluble--and might make those bruises only a memory. Good luck!
Ah, I see we have a doctor on the site. I too bruise easily and I take vitamin C everyday along with other vitamins. I think the best solution, if it becomes a big problem, is to consult your own doctor for advice. Like Habs says a bruise does not always cause pain.
Teaser was okay and thanks for posting.

Got it with the hint.
simple, yet fun
So easy, I coincidentally have a fresh reminder on my shin. OUCH!!
This one was really hard for me as I've never had a bruise before since I fell off my bike as a kid.
Maybe you have too much VitaminC, Gother!! Great riddle.
This was a fun riddle! I had to ponder it for a bit. A memory of pain? Blues.. darker hues? Ahh, OH! The answer rhymes too! Wonderful. Really well done. It is difficult to have every line rhyme without sounding really awkward. This one does it well. Very nice. I'm glad I decided to go hunting down all of the Riddler's teasers.
