| Like Peas in a Pod |
This poem riddle is actually a sonnet. I will leave it up for the next three weeks, while everyone is busy celebrating Christmas and New Years. See you in 2009!
As steadfast mutes, we utter not a sound,
Yet in our silence speak the words of God;
With steady stance we lightly touch the ground,
My twin and I, like peas that share a pod.
And though I seem to be the same as him,
Some diff'rences the watchful will divine;
His face, though lovely to be sure, is dim,
When placed beside the brilliant cheer of mine.
Though I'm the lesser one - I must admit -
I say with kind and brotherly affection,
He is my perfect mirrored opposite,
A haunting, strange, ephemeral reflection.
I wonder, can you solve the mystery
Of who or what my twin and I might be? |

Solution: A DOUBLE RAINBOW
Rainbows are silent.
In Genesis (the Bible) God uses a rainbow to make a promise to Noah.
The second rainbow is always more dim than the first.
The first rainbow is smaller than the second.
The colors of the second are in reverse order.
6 points possible.
Source: I wrote this sonnet over at Fifteen Minutes of Fiction. Here is the address: Steadfast Mutes
If you put sun and moon, with a fairly good explanation, you got partial credit on this one!
Some people had seen the answer over at FMOF (It's nice to see that there's some crossover between these two sites!) and I gave full credit for those who had already seen it.
