Brain Teasers
Burning Disk
From the secret world he came,
Upon this life to settle.
A friend of every enemy,
With him forever to stay.
Dies when the sun sets,
Alive when the cock awakes,
Tall when the burning disk is beyond the hills,
Short when he shares your lunch.
Who is it?

I kept thinking it was the sun or day.
good poem
I thought it was some fairy tale creature you made up.... No wait, FABLE creature you made up. Dude, why do they call them "fairy" tales when not all of them have fairies in them? I ought to know. Really.
I figured it out. It's rare that I do.

Hey! I'm doing my Ha Y Dance Thnx! for the teaser.
Good teaser! I though it was day too. Nice poem though very creative.
I got it right away after I read it a few times...
I like this one, but I gotta say, I don't understand what the first four lines are talking about...like, at all. Am I missing something, or are the first four lines rather irrelevant?
