Not Blue, but Green Is the SkyRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
My rings tell such a story
Of years past with gracious glory Where I live is where I stay From that spot I cannot stray From my home man taketh me So they can erect another home, you see Many others bore into my sides These things that crawl and things that glide I weep with beauty or stand with grace Every year I shed myself to nourish my place What am I? AnswerI am a tree. My rings are produced every year, just one, and how large it is tells a story of how that particular year was. Where I grow is where I stay, as I cannot pick up and move. Men cut me down to make their own homes, and creatures such as birds and squirrels live in me. When I shed my leaves they put nutrients into the ground which keep it fertile.Hide What Next?
