Is it Time?
I am a treasure chest with out key or lid,
Yet golden treasure in side me is hid.

Tomorrow.

The man who wanted it didn't show it.
The man who bought it didn't use it.
The man who used it didn't know it.

What is it?


I got this one from an old book...I'm not sure if it's worded correctly, so there may be other correct answers from the one that I know.

Here's one....
Can you tell what rhymes with moon,
and could be written on a page,
or on a rock for age on age,
the ancient letter soon!

Or.......
The part of the bird
that is not in the sky,
which can swim in the ocean
and always stay dry.
What is it?

Or....
Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet do I lack.

Try those on for size.

(Edited to fix repeated word)

First one: Rune.
Second one: reflection (don't make much sense, i know, but that's all I got).
The third one sounds like it might be a railroad track.

Rune is correct....try again on the others.

For the second one, I'm guessing a penguin... but I don't think it's right...

The third one...? I would say the Earth itself. Again, I don't think it's right.

Pretty sure the third one is a ship. I'm really wracking my brain on the second.
Nice job Wolfward.

I'm just wondering if the second one is written correctly, since the word "part" is written twice

The part of the bird
that is not in the sky,
which can swim in the ocean
and always stay dry.
What is it?

Is that what it's supposed to be?

My guess is the crow's nest of a ship, which seems more likely than the figurehead, which would probably get wet.

If that's correct:
What's more important then the end of the world? I know this is rather open-ended, subjectively, but I want to see if anyone can get the answer I'm thinking of.

The answer was "shadow", and I can here you all going"AAAwwwww..." as I type this. Is the answer to your question life? or the beginning of the world? That one is pretty open....any clues?

The answer I had in mind for it is: The next day. The only thing more important than the end of the world is what happens next.

Oh....
When a Dragon flies,
He sees it with his eyes.
When a dragon roars,
He holds it in his claws.
When he slumbers, deep,
He dreams of it in sleep,
But there, beneath his head,
It forms his stony bed.

Oft must I strive with wind and wave, battle them both when under the sea.
I feel out the bottom, a foreign land. In lying still, I am strong in the strife;
If I fail in that, they are stronger than I, and wrenching me loose, soon put me to rout.
They wish to capture what I must keep. I can master them both if my grip holds out,
If the rocks bring succour and lend support, strength in the struggle. Ask me my name!

The wave, over wave a weird thing I saw,
Through-wrought, and wonderful ornate:
A wonder on the waves, water became bone.

I'm really not sure but I think the first one might be sky. This is the part that gets me though:
But there, beneath his head,
It forms his stony bed.
I think the third one might be ice but I really can't make any other connection.

3rd one is ice, I'll give you hints for the other two.
When a Dragon flies.... what do pirates want?
Oft must I strive....think of a ship.

Now it's just too easy....but whatever.
