Robs His Sleep
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
It prods a man's hand, and it robs him of sleep,
It makes him climb mountains and travel the deep,
It makes him go wander down deep in a cave,
and do almost anything stupid or brave,
The longer denied the greater it grows,
It makes a man learn 'till he thinks that he knows.

This was cool. First few lines, I thought of greed leading to stealth and robbery of riches...As soon as I got mid-way through reading the poem, I realized it had to be curiosity.

Good one. Thought the answer was love.
'Twas easy, but very well written and enjoyable.
Yay, I never normally get these but I got this one!
The riddle itself gave it away as being some sort of subconscious state. It was very well written though. I liked it
Bravo!
I was thinking his wife LOL JOKING
The last line was a dead giveaway!
Really great teaser, even though I didn't get it.
Got the riddle, but have never heard the phrase "prod's a mans hand" before. I even did a google search and found nothing...
I thought it was dreams - good teaser
I also thought it was 'desire'
I also was thinking desires.
Fun one! I didn't get it though. I was thinking love - and a wedding ring as prodding his hand.
Easy But excellent as well.
Didn't take long for me to get that one. That felt good for a change. I got it on the very last line, so did not have to ponder on it at all. Nice one!
Nicely written, easy, fun, teaser, thanks for posting, but what's with the hand prodding?
Re: hand prodding - curiosity makes one want to reach out and touch...
Fun, Easy and entertaining teaser; I got this one very quickly.
