National Poetry Writing Month: Riddle Poems

"Thirty white horses on a red hill/First they champ/Then they stamp/Then they stand still." This is an example of a riddle poem in which the poem is used to disguise the nature of the object described. In this case, the answer to the riddle is: teeth!

Write your own riddle poem. First think of an answer, and then try to find a metaphorical way of disguising it in a poem.
