For a long time they've stood in place- silently still, wearing a clever face. Twisted fingers reach and cross, delivering goods from under the moss. Comfy homes for gnomes and fairies- a place, perhaps, where you might find cherries. A shadowy shade that whispers stories, secrets about fortunes and tell- tale glories. A bark with no bite, these things of old- stonily sturdy; weather hot or cold. They fall in a circle, turning green, brown, or red, then hide in their sleep- so you'd think they were dead. But alas, there's a few still rooted in magic- to lose them to whimsy would surly be tragic. Remember this rhyme when you're standing below, look up at once, and then you'll know.
What am I referring to?
I gave you a clue!
Roots? I've mentioned how bad I am at this, yes? lol
ReplyDeleteI was thinking a fairy ring but then read 'They fall in a circle' so I'm now thinking toadstools OR because of the line 'A bark with no bite, these things of old- stonily sturdy' I'm thinking a tree. No, I'm sticking with a toadstool.

ReplyDeleteTrees? The lines suggest different parts of a tree to me.
I'm going with trees :)
ReplyDeleteTrees are my guess, though the circle thing has me confused :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with the others. Trees. They have all the requisites as the answer: rooted, sometimes laden with cherries, home to woodland creatures, bark but doesn't bite and all those seasonal colors.
ReplyDeleteTrees or leaves.
ReplyDeleteRoots is a good guess as well.
I'm thinking big old oak tree.
ReplyDeleteI pictured a big maze of roots.
ReplyDeleteRoots can't hide cherries so I am lost...again...lost...totally!
ReplyDeleteI think leaves.
ReplyDeleteI was going to guess tree. :) Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, I'm terrible at riddles. Gollum would have eaten me for sure. I can't wait to see the answer though

Oh deary me, it would just have to be a Fairy tree. Agman
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking leaves. They hide cherries, give you shade, and they fall in autumn in red, orange, and yellow, and get covered in a blanket of snow
ReplyDeleteThe answer is posted Riddlers! Great job guessing : ) ~ F
