Never Get Me Back
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I can run swiftly and silently when you want me to stay still,
I can move slowly and cautiously and am yours to fill.
You look at me often and yet you always forget me,
I am the most feared killer, yet you can't live without me.
Sometimes you have me for all to spare,
Yet when you need me, I am not there.
You can waste me, or cherish me, you choose the track,
But once you're done you can never get me back.

| Thanks for that. For me it was a little bit well spent and more for you to write! Nice treatment of a subject we all experience here if we can spare a little for entertainment!.. You got some of mine, now I get some of yours! |

| At first I thought it was water, until I got to the part about forgetting. By the end, I knew the answer, but it was fun! Made you think, but it was possible to come up with the answer! The best kind of riddle! |

| This was very well written and very thoughtful. I don't think it matters in the least that it was easy for some peeps, because it has value in itself.
Anyway, I GOT IT, YAY YAY YAAAY!!!!!

| Lines 3,4,5 gave it away, now try this in your spare time, write your self an essay, describing time, without ever using the word in it. Goodluck. John |

| The last line gave the answer. A very well-written and thought-provoking teaser. You would have spent a lot of TIME in creating the poem. Excellent show! |

| I enjoyed your teaser very much - although I didn't come up with the right answer. I thought "water" at the first line, and I kept trying to make it work. When I finally decided that it was difficult to make it fit with all of the clues, I looked at the answer and thought "Of, Course!!" - Great Teaser |
