Very nice
Good riddle. I like the meter and the way you use related words like "heavy" and "rushed" to evoke the correct answer. Well done.
Another good one, Riddler! I agree with the others about your language selection - this would be a good one to read aloud.
I liked this riddle. Very nice rhyming.
