These lessons worked wonderfully with my 8th grade students! We hung them on the wall by our office and used QR codes so students could check if they were correct or not. Thanks so much!

That's great, John! I've written and shared 38 riddle poems of my own here: www.yaddlezap.com/riddlepoems
Each one follows certain formal poetic constraints that I found both fun and challenging to work within.

I have used this lesson several times with my 7th and 8th grade language arts students. They love it. They enjoy trying to interpret the sample poems and creating their own.
It is a wonderful lesson to maintain interest right before winter break.
