A Riddle!

The title and first line have nothing to do with the rest of the poem as presented, Anita. No riddle of life is examined.

Thanks for reading MisterM. I would appreciate if you could tell me if there is a chance to improve this poem further.It was written long back.I want to show that Life is so difficult to understand just like a riddle.

Poems are never finished, Anita, so you can work on this as long as you like. I have poems in my folder that have been confounding me for forty years.

Life is a strange riddle.
