A Family of Seven

Two are bitter and harsh,
Four are twins,
The last is the warmest of all.
What family am I?
The Seven Seas. The first two are bitter and harsh, the north and south ones are the twins, and the Indian Ocean is the warmest of the bunch.

Run Smoother Than Any Rhyme
What runs smoother than any rhyme, loves to fall but cannot climb?
Water
Whoever makes it, tells it not.
Whoever makes it, tells it not.
Whoever takes it, knows it not.
Whoever knows it, wants it not
Counterfeit money or poison.
Sits in the Corner
I sit in a corner and travel around the world. What am I?
A stamp.
This is nearly a duplicate of Lives in the Corner.
Five Hundred Begins It
Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.
DAVID (Roman numerals).
Lies Behind Stars
It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
Lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
Comes first follows after,
Ends life kills laughter.
Darkness.
Six Faces But No Arms
I have six faces but no arms, and twenty one eyes but I can’t see.
What am I?
A die. There six sides (or faces) and twenty one pips.
