Title: The sweetest delight
Post by alien2 on May 5^th, 2018, 8:16am

What is the sweetest delight,
The best part of the Moon,
Those who offer ingredients for it need light,
While the ones who make it wait for bloom?

Before revision (IGNORE):
(...)
Who make it needn't money, rather light
Forwhy they settle with bloom?

It sounds like[hide] honey, [/hide]although I can't match it up with the moon clue.

The moon could have to do with [hide]honeymoon[/hide].
Of course, technically [hide]it's not flowers that make honey, but bees. Flowers produce nectar, and bees process that into honey.[/hide]

Right you are. I reckon a little tweaking is in order. Still, [hide]"everybody" needs sunlight.[/hide]

Out of towr's intervention, which is much appreciated, I revised the riddle that is NOW impeccable. Thank you again.
