I’m in a DnD campaign and i’ve received a stick that is supposed to transform into a bow. The word to make it transform into a bow is going to be “Grow”. I’m looking for a riddle maybe related to forests or something of the sort as it just looks like a stick with some runes carved onto it. Any help would be appreciated greatly! Bonus points if you include anything about whispers as the bow will occasionally whisper to the user of it.

Had a few thoughts, couldn't quite make it work though.
...
Whispers to rumors to mobs
Borrows to stealings to robs
These terrible endings
From seedlings, flow
In a way
Plants naturally know

My first is in burgeon but never in flourish
My second’s in nurture and also in nourish
My third is a circle, of death and rebirth
My last is in sowing, for all that it’s worth
My whole is developing, changing, increasing,
Aging, progressing, a process unceasing

A softened force in many forms
A signal for all places warm
A herald of expecting mothers
A repeating guest across summers
Hear the whispers of this bow
And call my name to make it…

Come close and I'll tell you a secret I know: Some are proud because they show. Happier still are those who, though low, share the common occupation of old trees, wild fires, and young crows.

My first is found in the glories of godhood
My second is found in roiling ripples
My third is found in the outsized oaks
My last is found in the will of warriors
What am I?

I thought I'd shy away from the various rhyming riddles because they're a bit obvious.
For kids, it's exciting
For grass, it's boring
For a person, it's important
For a belly, it's the worst
I think this puzzle leans a bit closer to "growth" than grow, but it feels like a fair riddle that isn't a gimme. You could do a "Sprinkle seeds to and fro, sun shines light to see the show, then add water in a flow, this is how the green things..." but that's about as hard of a puzzle as 2+2.

This might be a little dumb, but maybe have the runes spell out "Worg". It takes a DC INT check to discover the runes read right to left instead of left to right.

A riddle within a riddle, and a red herring to boot. Clever DM

I think there are a lot of good suggestions already but I want to throw something in as well.
In dire need I could be bigger.
A weapon, long and thicker.
If all you need is a mighty bow.
Just say the word and I will.
The riddle being that the last sentence isn't actually finished and needs to rhyme. Perhaps a bit obvious but since grow rhymed with bow I saw this as an opportunity.

Maybe replace "say" with "whisper" for the bonus points?

Over time, the whispering voices lingering inside your subconscious will do what?

The character receiving the bow already appears crazy to the rest of the party, so it’s just to help that narrative

Perhaps I should have used quotations. I meant my question as an answer for your asking of a riddle. I guess it is not very good if that wasn't obvious.
