Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.

Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Yes, it's popcorn! So...

Small and round, I curl up tight
Green and closed, but soon I'll be bright
I'll spread my color out to the light!

:( just heard the doorbell answer was incorrect

Oct-31-2005 16:08

moonsh - a flower sead? (or sid:)

Oct-31-2005 16:41

Reda, you're so smart! I will go ahead and give credit for a flower seed, although I was really looking for a flower bud. It's the same idea! Also my students guessed "caterpillar," which I thought was a brilliant answer, too.

Here's another:

Five little sisters,
Sitting on a hill
We have hard little caps,
And we bend at will.

Fingers, caps being fingernails?

Oct-31-2005 19:15

Yes! I'll have to see if I can remember any of the harder ones again...

What do people own that others use more than them?
(and it's not a doorbell)

A name.

Nov-2-2005 18:26

Oh, that must be it!

Nov-2-2005 19:59

Tis indeed a name.

Here before you and gone after your dead, Im a trinty but not always Holy.

I've journeyed all over the world and through space. I'll can move ever so slowly or with the quickest of pace.

What I am?
