When told by my boyfriend that I was a doll, KEN (Brice)
I let out my voice in harmonious tones; SING (Brice)
For thousands of pounds did I seem to bear--all TON (Brice)
From a French guy I met once; we spoke on the phones GARS (Maturins_Daughter)
And I should have been brighter, but wanting a lark, DENSE (SigTauGimp)
I met him and made love in this English park.
KENSINGTON GARDENS (Lily-sai)
No one?Not even to say "I have no clue"?
Let me be the first then!
My impressions . . . . it was very awkwardly worded.
"when told by my boyfriend" . . . . . why not when my boyfriend told me?
Also I would shy away from vernacular such as 'boyfriend'.
The second line also seems very awkward as well.
I think if the language was clearer it would be more resonant.
Of course, these are just my opinions, and I am in no way a literary scholar.
Is it Barbie

You're getting warm--at least as far as the first line goes....Is it Barbie
Mr. Crowley...did you talk to the dead?
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Maybe you could "WOW" us with one of your expertly worded riddles in the future.Let me be the first then!

Yeah, ummm...there is a writer's forum where criticism is welcome. This however is a forum for riddles and they are for solving. Sometimes even the specific wording is a clue to the solution.Let me be the first then!

J&Y: If I said "I have no idea" when it applied I'd be saying it in almost all of these threads.
At least then I'd know my riddle was seen....J&Y: If I said "I have no idea" when it applied I'd be saying it in almost all of these threads.
Anyway, here's a hint--every line (except the last one) has an answer that's a one-syllable word. Put them together and you get the answer to the last line (the whole riddle).
Also: don't overthink them. The clues are easier than you think!
mia/susannah is on the right track for the first one already....

I read every single post on the site, so ALL of your riddles are seen.

So...any ideas? Barbie isn't the first answer, as it's one syllable only, but think something similar....
Bingo!
Now how about the other clues?
"Ton" is right. "Sigh" is not. Harmonious tones, remember?
Bingo!
On the rest...at least for now I'm totally stuck. Maybe this'll help someone else though or maybe I'll see it later.
It ought to help out anyone trying to figure out the riddle....
I keep thinking of Kensington Gardens, but for my life I can't figure out how to split 'gardens' into two words. *sigh*
"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."
You're absolutely right!
And as for splitting it into two words?
Don't be so....
No, I'm really that dim-witted.
But yay! Kensington Gardens is one of my favourite places in the whole world, it's really a stunning place.

I envy you.
But as for the last two clues, don't be so ____....
*banging my forehead on the wall*
halp me, Brice?

Well, you know the last word is "gardens," so...?*banging my forehead on the wall*
