Read the riddles, then create your own.

Riddle 1

Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
Riddle 2
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless it flutters,
Toothless bites ,
Mouthless mutters.
Riddle 3
There are two sisters
One gives birth to the other
And she, in turn, gives birth to the first.
Who are the two sisters?"
Riddle 4
A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid .
Riddle 5
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills .
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Definition 'Dactyl' :

Dactyl is a metrical foot, or a beat in a line, containing three syllables in which the first one is accented, followed by second and third unaccented syllables (accented/unaccented/unaccented) in quantitative meter, such as in the word “humanly.” In dactyl, we put stress on the first syllable, and do not stress second and third syllables, try to say it loud: “HU-man-ly.” Dactyl originates from the Greek word dáktylos, which means “finger,” because it is like bones of human fingers, beginning from a central long knuckle, which is followed by two short bones.

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, editor and literary critic. He was the central figure of Romanticism in the United States and one of the country’s earliest practitioners of the short story. He is very famous for his tales and poems of horror and mystery, his short stories and his use of the macabre.

2- About the film director :
* Website about David Lynch : https://ra.co/dj/davidlynch
* David Keith Lynch is an American filmmaker, visual artist and actor. Lynch has received many awards during his career. In 2007, a panel of critics convened by The Guardian announced that "after all the discussion, no one could fault the conclusion that David Lynch is the most important film-maker of the current era", while AllMovie called him "the Renaissance man of modern American filmmaking". His work led to him being labeled "the first populist surrealist" by film critic Pauline Kael.

Lynch studied painting before he began making short films in the late 1960s. His first feature-length film, the surrealist Eraserhead (1977), became a success on the midnight movie circuit, and he followed that by directing The Elephant Man (1980), Dune (1984), and Blue Velvet (1986). Lynch next created his own television series with Mark Frost, the murder mystery Twin Peaks (1990–91). He also made the film prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) and the road film Wild at Heart (1990). Turning further towards surrealist filmmaking, three of his subsequent films operated on dream logic non-linear narrative structures: Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Drive (2001), and Inland Empire (2006). Lynch and Frost reunited in 2017 for the third season of Twin Peaks, which aired on Showtime.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitions :

-dystopia  is the opposite of 'utopia'.

It is an imagined place or state in which everythin is

unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally

degraded one.

A dystopian narrative shows us a nightmarish image of what

might happen to the world in the near future.

It aims at warning us against the dangers of a contemporary

ideology or habit.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

https://poetryarchive.org/poet/adrian-henri/
* British Bohemian Scene of the 1960's in Liverpool.
* Find the poem here after :
Tonight at noon
Supermarkets will advertise 3d EXTRA on everything
Tonight at noon
Children from happy families will be sent to live in a home
Elephants will tell each other human jokes
America will declare peace on Russia
World War I generals will sell poppies in the streets on November 11th
The first daffodils of autumn will appear
When the leaves fall upwards to the trees

Tonight at noon
Pigeons will hunt cats through city backyards
Hitler will tell us to fight on the beaches and on the landing fields
A tunnel full of water will be built under Liverpool
Pigs will be sighted flying in formation over Woolton
and Nelson will not only get his eye back but his arm as well
White Americans will demonstrate for equal rights
in front of the Black House
And the Monster has just created Dr Frankenstein

Girls in bikinis are moonbathing
Folksongs are being sung by real folk
Art galleries are closed to people over 21
Poets get their poems in the Top 20
Politicians are elected to insane asylums
There’s jobs for everyone and nobody wants them
In back alleys everywhere teenage lovers are kissing
in broad daylight

In forgotten graveyards the dead will quietly bury the living
and
You will tell me you love me
Tonight at noon.
