What is the difference between a proverb and a riddle?

Answer 1

Proverbs are sayings with moral value, and a lesson in them. Proverbs express common-sense truths.

Riddles, on the other hand, can be either questions with a double meaning, or conundrums/enigmas. In either case, they leave the recipient guessing.

Answer 2

a proverb is something of great truth so to be said

its more about the message hidden underneath than the words that are actually written they are usually religious sayings or said by great past leaders and saints

short poems are just that they can rhyme or not but is more expressive in the words they use and often have a hidden message in the about something we dont know for some they maybe once loved or hated or missed

Answer 3

If you have ample editing and assembling skills, anything can be done with poetry. A proverb is a quip which provokes a thought which then only be needed to be developed into a poem. Sometimes a garland of proverbs which do not share a common meaning can be made into a meaningful poem when they are linked together, slightly edited and rearranged to fit a tune. The contributor to this answer has actually done it, and don't be dissuaded by thinking otherwise. By the way, is there a proverb that long?

And here is a short poem which denotes a presence more powerful than any proverb:

Who has seen the wind,

Neither you nor I,

But when the trees bow down their heads, the

Wind is passing by.
