What Is Gold?, Riddle #32

The reaper of the young
this preys on all living souls
The master of destruction
which ruins first impressions
The subliminal bliss
after a rough day

Include Us, Riddle #31

It is not you or me
though it does include these
It is part of groups
heard with loop-d-loops

A Necessary Taste, Riddle #30

This is no solid but it's definitely no drink
If you spill it on your jeans the kitchen sink won't help
The mark it leaves won't come out well
Use the seeds when you make a slaw
Eat with dogs though it's not a law
And just to be valid
It can be used to make egg salad

Run, Jump, Hide, Riddle #29

These are words with a "to" in the front
Something you can do to have some fun
Or a phrase you can see being done
Sometimes these words are words to be loved
Do not be fooled, they cannot be drunk

Gardens, Riddle # 28

To me this is golden
though it's known to be poison.
If you can shoot this from my head
I'll gift you this prize that's delicious and red.
But it's not what it seems
blood is not supposed to be green.

Opposites Attract, Riddle # 27

My prefix is something really small,
not likely to be heard.
I am not in every sentence,
but I go with every word.
I am the opposite of everything,
so when I talk I mean to scream.
Assuage and exacerbating.

Special Mother's Day Poem

How can I explain, what cannot be put into words?
A breeze picks up, and trees talk with the birds.
Yet still I have no clue what I could say,
to make this Mother's Day show what's in my heart.
If I had a rose to represent your love,
it would have no color for there can be no such spectrum.
But if I have a long life, that turned out to be well,
I would measure that by you,
My mother.

Trade, Riddle # 26

Filling gaps between frames
The smile heavily fumed
Everywhere inside buildings
Even on the outside
Take care to dry
Drips look like tears

Verb, Not A Noun, Riddle #25

The only time I'm used is when I'm applied.
My only form of travel is to fly, never drive.
I am seen if you clean or when it's hot.
Oops I forgot, I'm also known for a block against the sun.
I deploy more than one, employed by a bottle.
Don't get me wrong I use only liquid
unless you're using bullets to a gun.

Past, Future, Present Riddle #24

Like a man Gabe has a face,
Yet unlike a man Gabe has more
than two hands.
He will show you one thing or two
or three or four or five.
Like Honest Abe, Gabe speaks the honest truth
never telling fabled lies.
No need to put yourself in pain,
sit back, relax, just observe.
Gabe will entertain of this I have inferred.
