I'm not good in writing riddles. You are. write some, instead of asking from people to.

Keith K: Smoking weed?
Elf Girl: I'm pretty sure it's Cirdan, but Christiana got it first.

Well, pipeweed was the actual answer but just "weed" will be accepted! You always guess my riddles Cass. Good job!

Yeah, ElfGirl must be thinking of Cirdan. He gets my guess too.

Yes.

"Beginning light" refers to the fact that he was one of the "original" Elves, that awoke at Cuivenen (how do you spell that!).
"bearded might" signifies both that he is powerful and the only known elf to have a beard.
"gives to the wise/elven eyes" is about the gift of Narya to Gandalf.

Tom Bombadil Riddle!

I've got a riddle for you! I am not sure if it ties in with what we are talking about, but I guess I can start a new subject. Ok:

Poor people have it
Rich people need it
And if you eat it, you die?
What is it?

No it is not exactly LotR related, Elf Girl That is why I said it doesn't tie in with the subject but try it anyway.

Tom Bombadil Ok

It actually can tie in with LotR. Nevermind. The answer was NOTHING. Do you know any LotR-related riddles?

A NEW RIDDLE

A new riddle for y'all....
Riddle #1:


Upon a bier of elven wood the Numenorian lay.

A peacful face with long dark hair upon his shoulders was arrayed.

Grey hood and cloak pillowed his head, beside the steep isle glowing.

His shattered sword upon his lap, the hilts and shards lay broken.

His journey home through golden haze, in the southern distance shimmering.

A dark spot against the golden light moving rapidly then vanishing.

Long days would pass for tidings to come to loved ones who only could wait;

What evil fate on this unhappy day occured in the woods about the lake?

New Riddle #2:

Short-statured,
long-armed,
crook-legged,
finger-groper.

Yellow-fanged,
foul-breathed,
soft-spoken,
evil-talker.

Lugburz-slave,
Nazgul-fane.
Ring-lust,
spear-thrust
was his bane.

Riddle #1: The guy the riddle's about would be Boromir? And the question the riddle's asking (what happened) would be the battle on Amon Hen?

Riddle #2: Grishnagk (oh those darn orc names; who can spell 'em)?
__________________
It's New Years Day, just like the day before;
Same old skies of grey, same empty bottles on the floor.
Another year's gone by, and I was thinking once again,
How can I take this losing hand and somehow win?

Just give me One Good Year To get my feet back on the ground.
I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found
One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down.
I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year!

Another Riddle

There are not many, who can render,
the facts from rumor in this riddle of gender.

For few there are among that race,
who move about from place to place.

Their voices and looks, why even their dress,
confuse other folk and cause all this mess.

Your eyes and your ears may bring you to perceive,
that they do not exist, (but you are deceived).

In fact it is often that many are prone,
to believe that these folk have grown out of stone!

Yet that is but fiction, these creatures are real.
So who are these people? That you must reveal.


[editors note]
I am looking for a very specific answer, but it shouldn't be too difficult for y'all.
