No Thicker Than Your Finger
No thicker than your finger when it folds.
As thick as what it’s holding when it holds.
A sack.
By Sef Daystrom
Never Resting, Never Still
Never resting, never still,
Silently moving from hill to hill,
I do not walk, run or trot,
But all is cool where I am not.
What am I?
Sunlight (or sunshine).
First is Twice in Apple
My first is twice in apple but not once in tart.
My second is in liver but not in heart.
My third is in giant and also in ghost.
Whole I’m best, when I am roast.
What am I?
You are a pig.
Never Stolen, Owned By All
I can never be stolen from you.
I am owned by everyone.
Some have more, some have less.
What am I?
Knowledge.
Hurt Without Moving
We hurt without moving.
And poison without touching.
We bear truth and lies,
But are not judged by size.
What are we?
Words.
Wait 27 Days Or See It Every Day?
You could wait 27 days or you could see it everyday. What is it?
The moon. Even though the true moon cycle is about 29.5 days, it takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. Thus you can see the full moon every 27 days or you can moon yourself every day in the mirror. Not that you’d want to. Does anyone moon themselves? Can’t say as I’ve ever had the “pleasure”.
Halo of Water, Tongue of Wood
Halo of water, tongue of wood
Skin of stone, long I’ve stood.
My fingers short reach to the sky
Inside my heart men live and die.
A castle.
Imprisoned In Wood and Never Released
I am taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case from which I am never released. Yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?
Pencil lead. While modern pencils don’t contain lead, that’s still what we call the graphite compound. When real lead was used in pencils it was mined and nearly everyone has used a pencil at some point in their life.
