She so peaceful, yet causes fear
Him so bright and full of cheer
She rests the body, he wakes the soul
Him so light, she black as coal
Her with mole and tiny bright freckles
He covers us with tiny tear speckles
She hides us, he beams with pride
He her husband, she his bride
He in bright silk, her all in velvet
A yin-yang marriage as they tell it
Two lovers who meet but twice a day
When he must go, she need stay
Now I ask you, who are they?

Rach_ Sep 22, 2006	Nicely written, I enjoy only I guess quickly!
OldChinaHand Sep 22, 2006	Day and Night, Night and day, this was the one Only this beneath the moon or under the sun It's no matter teaser where you are I think of you Day and night, night and day...good one.
marschie Sep 22, 2006	I also thought SUN and MOON. For 'penguinboy,' using poetic license, the MOON is black once a month, at NEW MOON, and the SUN and MOON meet twice a day because their LOCALES meet, once at dawn and again at dusk. Lovely poem, lovely riddle.
RRAMMOHAN Sep 22, 2006	Very well written verse, so poetic! The teaser was pretty easy, though. Like some others, at first I thought it was the sun and the moon, but later corrected myself. A very satisfying teaser. Thanks.
bradon182001 Sep 22, 2006	Nice. I thought sun and moon immediately. Didn't look at the hint. The correct answer is better I think. Great job.
Terilynne88 Sep 22, 2006	Excellent job on your teaser. For those of you that are arguing for sun/moon...I thought of that answer too, but it is disqualified by the line "her with a mole and tiny bright freckles..." That makes it obvious that it is the night sky and not just the moon. Great job!!!
Scitchr Sep 22, 2006	Written very well.
Littlegal Sep 22, 2006	Very well written. I enjoyed this teaser.
Trishgal Sep 22, 2006	Since i thought sun/moon I hate to say it ,but the answer failed with the mole and freckles line. But it sure was a good teaser.
Pizzazz2u Sep 22, 2006	A very unique and poetic teaser. You put some thought into this one and it will get many to use their heads! The moon will not work because it will appear during the day time and/or sunlight hours, too! I enjoy the twist! Keep them coming.
phyllisa Sep 22, 2006	loved it, thought moon and sun
scallio Sep 22, 2006	I too answered SUN and MOON and I believe it works as well. Here's why: Regarding the dark: the sun has no power of light on it's own. When it appears illuminated at night, it is the reflection of the sun we're seeing. You could say the moon is dark. Regarding the mole and freckles: the moon appears to have moles and freckles on it when viewed through a telescope-- it's pock marked. The moon's craters look like freckles! I thought this teaser was very beautifully written. Our morning teaser wrapped up in a piece of fine poetry. I truly enjoyed this. And to the jerk using profanity in the comment section-- you're not going to be around long so SEE YA.
scallio Sep 22, 2006	OOPS! I meant the moon has no power of light on it's own. Of course the sun does! Should have said- "Regarding the dark: the MOON has no power of light on it's own."
carouselsb3 Sep 22, 2006	I loved the poetry - I said dusk and dawn though which sounds much more poetic than "day and night" - Thanks!
choptlivva Sep 22, 2006	Beautiful deepsea!!! I loved it!!
jabdr Sep 22, 2006	What a nice teaser to lead us into the weekend. Thanks
Wingsfan Sep 22, 2006	I got it right away! I like this one! Keep 'em coming!
ItsJustWildman Sep 22, 2006	Very Good!!! I don't believe we should ever have to strain our brains too much on a Friday....
tdbrsun Sep 22, 2006	Loved this riddle, even though I did not figure it out . It was written down in poem so very well.
coachpisco Sep 22, 2006	Very nice. Thanks.
FeaerFactorY666 Sep 23, 2006	nice!
luvdoritos706 Sep 23, 2006	nice.....good one
Qrystal Sep 25, 2006	Yayyyy I got a riddle! I got a riddle!! Yippeeee!!! That must mean it's a good one. Or maybe it's just because I'm an amateur astronomer and am often thinking of the night sky and celestial bodies as physical poetry... Anyways, I was also thinking sun & moon at first, but a few more read-throughs and I decided to go with night & day because it seemed to "fit" better. Yippee, I say again!
vlerma Sep 26, 2006	You did a great job with the poetry and the little freckles, so neat. Nice job. I enjoyed it very much.
jr_whiz Sep 30, 2006	I love poetry and teasers, so this is one of my favorites! Good Job!
sarita01 Oct 17, 2006	i got the sun and the moon but thats close enough yay me
kittygirl19 Aug 27, 2009	[snoring]
mousechicks Sep 22, 2009	This one was very easy for me. It was beautifully written and a nice nod to Shakespeare.
leroyleroy Sep 22, 2009	WHAT A BEAUTIFUL POEM!! I LOVED IT. THERE IS ONLY ONE THING WRONG WITH IT.. I DIDNT THINK OF IT FIRST!!
leroyleroy Sep 22, 2009	DEEPSEA YOU ARE TRULY A POET!!!
elentir Sep 22, 2009	The moon and sun are an invalid answer because the moon can be visible at any time of the day, making the meeting with the sun twice a day very inaccurate. Not to mention, how would the moon hide us?
doehead Sep 22, 2009	Great poem. This was written by a famous poet in a magazine I read a couple of years ago . I don't remember who it was.
patiencewithaP Sep 22, 2009	Good one!
auntiesis Sep 22, 2009	Very well written. I loved it. I got it very quickly, but it was really a great teaser.
crocodile Sep 22, 2009	I got it at the part of meeting twice a day. Great Job!
avonma Sep 22, 2009	So good! I thought of it before I got through the riddle. I thought of the sun and the moon at first, but realized the clues worked better for day and night. Very nice! Thanks!
deepsea Sep 25, 2009	Doehead you must be mistaken. I wrote this myself.
Babe Sep 22, 2012	Oh my gosh! I can't believe that I got this one even without the hint. As one poet to another, your poem is lovely! Thanks for posting.
Maggiethe8th Sep 22, 2012	really nice read this morning-even nicer to get it! thanks!
cutebug Sep 22, 2012	Easy one I don't know who deepsea is,but this was written by someone else. The last line was changed by deepsea. It originally read( for I am night,and he is day). I know it was written in the 18hds by a poet named Homer something.
tripleteam5 Sep 22, 2012	nice work on poem BUT a HINT??? seriously
iggy39 Sep 22, 2012	nice one I got it right away. Thought it was good one but very easy.
