It has been a while since I have posted here. But it is time to renew this blog and how it functions. I will use this blog to create a community. I will continue to post regular riddles for you all the muddle through and talk over, I will post progress of new projects focussing largely but not limited to art playing cards, and I will listen to your feedback here, so that through this blog you can work with me and help shape the creations I produce.
As such, this blog will only grow, get more of my attention, and have greater influence on my projects if you get involved more, frequently check back and are engaged, and tell others about it. Have your say in my nonsensical, whimsical world, have a constant window to peer at it through, and help shape projects dedicated to the environment and animal welfare.
The First Riddle of this new stage
First of all, allow me to explain my riddles. They come in two parts, the first, oddly enough, is to find the answer. The second, is to explain it. As with everything, all of my world in backwards and my riddles are no different. Each is full of metaphoric, cultural and, most importantly, linguistic clues. You may have an idea for the answer, but you need to check it by yourself by seeing if all the clues do naturally relate back to the same conclusion. If not, start again. If most do, then you must riddle through how the rest do also. Let us try.
What is held when you’ve attention,
What is set for next you mention
Frightful thing! It starts a deer,
but ends with what will kill all, we’re
Dividing life up into hoods
and round and thrust in steel or woods.
Following is the answer. Do not click it until you are confident. This is an honour system. If you are daring enough, post your answer in the comments before looking using spoiler blocks (see below). Do not look and then post the answer in the comments - this would ruin the mental exercise for others.
