I vary in size, color, shape, and form
You can find me almost anywhere
Though nearly never in a dark rainstorm.
You see, my friend, I am born with light
I thrive on radiant, sunny days
And solemnly hide in the dark of night.
I can be as tall as a grown giraffe
That browses through the trees
Or as tiny as an ant and a half.
Before you solve the riddle and announce
Your answer, loud and clear
Know that I weigh less than an ounce.
What am I?
Be the first person to guess correctly!
Hello, Wolfie!
Shadow was the first thing I thought of, you did a wonderful job at hinting at it.
I just wanted to say that I disagree with one of your reviewers. I think that not only did "announce" and "ounce" rhyme (because it's a matter of how one reads it), but they also rhymed with "Your answer", especially if it's read in a British accent. But, that's just my opinion.
Have a nice day!
It could use some work - perhaps I'll revise it now for fun.Dear Wolfie!!!
This is Eros here to review another work of yours!!
I tried to solve the riddle. This one is little harder but it was funn to solve it. It made me think. I thought the answer could be water assuming that the size could be the amount of availability. So it does ve]ary in size and shape -- because water has no definite shape. But then sice it is always there in a rainstorm, I thought that my guess is wrong.
I proceeded in the same way and reached at a conclusion that it could be shadow--because it varies in size and shape and even colour--the shades, sometimes i is dark and at other tomes it is faint.
The riddle was good and I think it is a most difficult work to caompose a reiddle in such a beautiful manner. It has many rhyming words. i loved to read this because of the beautiful composition and the brainy exercise I had.
Keep writing!We all love to read your work!
Hey! I'm going to write a short review for you.
I love how this is a riddle yet it has rhyming to it. You don't know how much I love ryhming 
Anywayyyys, I noticed all lines started with a capital letter. I don't think that's needed...?

o___o I'm not sure how to review a riddle. >_> I suggest you use either wall posts or blogs next time. xD
Okay, so let me just say that this is tough. But I'll bother with solving it later. Right now, I'll focus on the riddle itself.

Thanks for reviewing it! I agree with you on the repetition part, I never noticed it. And I never really liked that "indeed" either; I just wanted the rhyming lines to have ten syllables each. I guess that's not necessary.
