Riddle Poem Contest

UPDATE: Several people have reported that they are unable to post their guesses (and explanations) on the Eden Lit Club blog post of the poem. If you have tried to post your answer there and were unable to, simply post your answer(and explanation if you have one) in the comment section of this blog and you will still be entered.

A couple of people have been able to post their answers on the Eden Lit Club blog, but were unable to post on this blog. I think I've fixed that problem, but if you posted on the Eden Lit Club blog and not here, you will still be entered in the contest.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Many years ago, I came up with a riddle poem, but I never published it anywhere until now. It is now posted on the Eden Lit Club blog under the terribly unoriginal name "Riddle Poem". The poem is about something very specific. If you “Leave A Comment” below the poem making a reasonable guess as to what it is about, and then follow the instructions below, you will be entered into a contest to win a custom made sex toy storage bag.

In order to enter for a chance to win, once you have commented on the Eden Lit Club blog with your guess as to what the poem is about, then you must come back to this blog and post a comment telling me that you made a guess. You may only do this once. If the name you use to comment on this blog is different than the name you use to comment on the Eden Lit Club blog, make sure to tell me what your Eden Lit Club blog name is.

Your guess does not have to be accurate, but if it is blatantly obvious that you didn't even try to figure things out, or if you simply guess the exact same thing that someone else has already guessed, I reserve the right to exclude you from the contest. The answer is not something that can be stated in just one or two words. The shortest way that I can state the answer involves five words, and that's being extremely concise. I do not expect anyone to get the answer exactly right, but if someone does, I may decide to make a special pouch just for them. So give it your best shot.

If you want to get an extra chance to win, explain in your Eden Lit Club comment how you chose the answer to the riddle by referring to the specific words or phrases from the poem that led you to your guess. You may only do this once, preferably in the same "comment" with your guess, however, you can also post a separate "comment" with your explanation.

You can also get one more chance to win by signing up to follow this blog. Simply post a comment below that states that you have signed up to follow the blog and you will be entered. If you are already following this blog, simply state in the comments that you are already following. You may only do this once.

You can also get more chances to win by tweeting about this contest (make sure to include a link to this blog post) and commenting below with the link to your specific tweet. If you do not know how to find the link to a specific tweet, read this. You may enter once per day by tweeting.

The contest ends at 11:59pm on Wednesday, August 31. Once the contest is over, I will announce the winner's name on this blog. I will also announce the answer to the Riddle Poem.

I used to sew professionally and I have a lot of very nice fabrics that I can use to make a bag to fit any one reasonably sized sex toy. Once you win and we have exchanged contact information, you can tell me what sex toy you want the bag to fit and what colors, fabrics, designs, etc... you prefer, and I will make a pretty pouch for your special toy.

I will ship the storage bag by USPS priority mail anywhere in the continental US for free. I'm sorry, but if you live outside of the US, I cannot afford to ship to you for free. You may still enter the contest, but you will have to pay for the shipping costs.

Good luck!

  4. I made a guess. It's almost as interesting to read everyone else's responses as to think of my own.

  6. I'm going to make my guess here because I just did one on Eden and it didn't seem to go through.

    I see this riddle as the time at the end of the evening when the stars are around that I retire to the sanctuary of my bedroom and begin to masturbate. This is my time, time for just me to explore everything this moment in time has to offer my body and if the stars align right, I may even end up seeing them when I orgasm. I will then drift away in oblivion and await the arrival of the next day and whatever that may bring.
