	No, it's all the same task. (1) Enigma by Edgar Allan Poe "Seldom we find," says Solomon Don Dunce, "Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet. Through all the flimsy things we see at once As easily as through a Naples bonnet— Trash of all trash!— how can a lady don it? Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff— Owl-downy nonsense that the faintest puff Twirls into trunk-paper the while you con it." And, veritably, Sol is right enough. The general tuckermanities are arrant Bubbles- ephemeral and so transparent— But this is, now— you may depend upon it— Stable, opaque, immortal— all by dint Of the dear names that he concealed within 't. -The End- (re-versed by Aerandirwen for Slytherin) The noblest name in JK Rowling's page, The cane that traced inexorable rage; A cunning student whose page refined, Displays the deepest knowledge of his mind; A violent boy of a magical tongue, (Indited in the spells that he sung.) A man of shameless and vengeful page At once the shame and death of our age, The prince of discord and stirling sense, The ancient dramatist of dissonance, The lady that destroys imagination's powers, And him whose lessons take hours and hours, Once more a timeless evil recall, In boldness of design surpassing all. These names when rightly read, a name [make] known Which gathers all their glories in its own. -The End- answers to the puzzles are: line - subject: 1 - Salazar Slytherin 2 - Lucius Malfoy 3-4 - Tom Riddle 5-6 - Marcus Flint 7-8 - Lord Voldemort 9 - Draco Malfoy 10 - Phineas Nigellus Black 11 - Bellatrix Black 12 - Severus Snape 13-14 - Radolphus Lestrange 15-16 - Tom Marvolo Riddle (I am lord voldemort) [Aerandir] All one task. I made a mistake in posting the wrong poem she was inspired by, but her rewrite is both a poem and a riddle, and those are the answers to the riddles. -----signature----- I have yet to encounter a situation that cannot be improved by the application of wit.

	This should have been the poem I included, that Aerandir worked off of. Enigma by Edgar Allan Poe For the Baltimore Visiter. The noblest name in Allegory's page, The hand that traced inexorable rage; A pleasing moralist whose page refined, Displays the deepest knowledge of the mind; A tender poet of a foreign tongue, (Indited in the language that he sung.) A bard of brilliant but unlicensed page At once the shame and glory of our age, The prince of harmony and stirling sense, The ancient dramatist of eminence, The bard that paints imagination's powers, And him whose song revives departed hours, Once more an ancient tragic bard recall, In boldness of design surpassing all. These names when rightly read, a name [make] known Which gathers all their glories in its own. -The End- line - author: 1 - Spenser 2 - Homer 3-4 - Aristotle 5-6 - Kallimachos 7-8 - Shelley 9 - Alexander Pope. 10 - Euripides 11 - Mark Akenside 12 - Samuel Rogers 13-14 - Euripidies 15-16 - William Shakespeare (re-versed by Aerandirwen for Slytherin) The noblest name in JK Rowling's page, The cane that traced inexorable rage; A cunning student whose page refined, Displays the deepest knowledge of his mind; A violent boy of a magical tongue, (Indited in the spells that he sung.) A man of shameless and vengeful page At once the shame and death of our age, The prince of discord and stirling sense, The ancient dramatist of dissonance, The lady that destroys imagination's powers, And him whose lessons take hours and hours, Once more a timeless evil recall, In boldness of design surpassing all. These names when rightly read, a name [make] known Which gathers all their glories in its own. -The End- answers to the puzzles are: line - subject: 1 - Salazar Slytherin 2 - Lucius Malfoy 3-4 - Tom Riddle 5-6 - Marcus Flint 7-8 - Lord Voldemort 9 - Draco Malfoy 10 - Phineas Nigellus Black 11 - Bellatrix Black 12 - Severus Snape 13-14 - Radolphus Lestrange 15-16 - Tom Marvolo Riddle (I am lord voldemort) Sorry for the confusion, but I don't see why the task can't counted, since it's the rewrite that is important, and that was clearly done right. -----signature----- I have yet to encounter a situation that cannot be improved by the application of wit.

	If it was all part of the poem then the points were counted. To me it looked like they were two seperate tasks, one being incomplete which is why what I thought was a second task wasn't getting counted. So, no worries. -----signature----- All Hail Cliegg's Blue Leg

	My bad, I didn't include the original poem with the re-worked version. Anyway, the poem is actually a puzzle. Each line describes someone, and there are answers. It's rather clever and I thought it would be fun to re-work. -----signature----- Slytherin House RULES! http://aerandir.com
