That was awesome! Seriously, it flowed so nicely and the rhyming was really good too. It could of been one of the riddles Gollum and Bilbo ask each other in "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Cool. Nicely written. I love riddles, this one's great.

I'm guessing that you were talking about one of the three goddesses, the Destinies. I don't quite remember their names or what each one represents though.

This is a very nice riddle! I managed to figure out what it was by about the middle of the poem, but only because I've spent most of my life buried in books. Since you've answered the poem at the end already, let me take the liberty of saying my answer in this review. I'm guessing that this is one of the three Greek fates, the one known as Lachesis, who determines the life span and fate of we mortals (and possibly the gods, too ;D).

Bravo! *claps* You've written a wonderful piece!
