You are correct, in the sense of correctly thinking that your answer is the wrong one :P


The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

I keep looking back at this and can't work out any of the allusions (like Glaurung said).  Also I have no idea who Murad is.

Blown glass, spun gold,
Coloured marbles, pink clouds,
Swans, mice, flowers, bowls,
Something pretending to be something it's not.


... I never have any idea how hard or easy I make these :'D

Whilst we wait for Jubal here is a nice (hopefully) easy one:

Before the new day breaks, I will be most strong
Some people might doubt you - but then they'd be wrong

If you don't comprehend, whatever you do
If you don't know but try, then I surround you,

You could look at the moon, I'm hidden - but there
Where could I be then? Perhaps anywhere

Right, finally wrote one. Probably a bit easy, but I felt it was a pretty rhyme:

I send my letters every year,
On parchments yellowed with their age,
I throw them up into the wind,
Unread, they scatter, page by page,
But when you write a letter, then
I write no more and I am gone;
For from my body, limb and heart,
Is made that which you write upon.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...
