Riddle Poem

We have a head,
but we do not think.
You wash us off
in the kitchen sink.
You search the frig
when you want to get us,
Leafy and green,
have you guessed
we're the lettuce?

    Can you write your own riddle poem today?  Have fun writing.

  3. Love it Joy. I'm crazy about riddles. Here's one I wrote for the challenge:
    I chirp, chirp, chirp
    But have no beak,
    I fiddle at night,
    For my own delight.
    What am I?
    Cricket.
