Safari's Riddles
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

These will all be similar to the goofy 'poems' that you might be
familiar with if you have ready 'Secret Soon' or 'Pixel Sticks'.
But these are all meant to be serious riddles, and they all have
a certain thing they they are describing. It's your job to figure it out!

Feel free to post as much as you want. Comment on them, and
discuss with others to try to figure out the meanings! Enjoy!
If you guys have some good and original riddles that you wrote,
PM them to me, and I can show them off here for others to guess.
Have fun!

Riddle One
I'm a dwarf among giants, relatively small;
Yet some say that I'm the most special of all.
I'm often noticed for miles around,
In the places where my light abounds.
But only one appreciates my strife,
Because only my presence creates her life.
What am I?

---

Riddle Two
Shadows are my enemy -they are my weakness.
Yet I am bold in the presence of their darkness.
I am acustomed to the color and brightness,
Of the flowers I see, especially the iris.
What am I?​

[DSJ]

The sun? Its a dwarf compared to others?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

A small lighthouse?

 

[Professor Palutena]

Darkness?

 

[safariblade]

DSJ actually got it right.

I'm a dwarf among giants, relatively small;
In relation to other stars, the Sun is actually pretty small

Yet some say that I'm the most special of all.
The Sun's solar system is where we live. It has life within it.

I'm often noticed for miles around,
In the places where my light abounds.
The Sun = light

But only one appreciates my strive,
Because only my presence creates her life.
Yay! Mother Earth has life!

Like it?
Oh, and would it be 'strife' or 'strive'?

 

[doublenikesocks]

It would be strife. Next one please.

 

[Snorchu]

NEW ONE:

Riddle Two
Shadows are my enemy -they are my weakness.
Yet I am bold in the presence of their darkness.
I am acustomed to the color and brightness,
Of the flowers I see, especially the iris.


What am I?

 

[Dork Void]

The eye. I think. Maybe.

 

[Zorua]

Eyes.

Riddle Two:
Shadows are my enemy -they are my weakness.
Eyes cannot see in darkness, which is what is created by shadows
Yet I am bold in the presence of their darkness.
The darkness of darkness would be light, which is what produces images captured by the eye
I am acustomed to the color and brightness,
The eye identifies things with the help of color and brightness
Of the flowers I see, especially the iris.
Iris, part of the eye

 

[Sleeping Snorlax]

Well... Looks like two is solved >.<

 

[Snorchu]

Why am I always so late to the party?!

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Why am I always so late to the party?!

Yeah it's eyes. But
"Yet I am bold in the presence of their darkness."
Refers to the dilation of the eyes' pupils in the dark.
