Terrific, flame ribbons. I thought it was an outdoor grill, but of course, a fireplace!
Outdoor grill is a great guess! I think this riddle-ku needed more specificity to it…

Forgive me for not commenting regularly, Laura, but I’ve been keeping up with your riddle-ku series and enjoying each daily dose! I think you came up with a wonderful, classroom-friendly way for children to be interactive with poetry this month.
Oh gosh–no problem at all. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying them:>) Thanks!
