Alright, I know that I'm stealing this idea from another guild but it's fun. Put your riddles here for other people to solve! There really are no rules . . . except don't post a riddle untill the one there has been solved. One at a time, be patient. 3nodding

Here we go, first one. This one took me forever to solve on my own. Whoever solves this first I will give them a cookie.
Now in this rhyme, you will find all the elements of a riddle,
All the clues are buried here, somewhere in the middle.
My first is in fact the last naturally to be seen,
I am in part a catalyst for refining gasoline.
My second is in party balloons they float up off the ground,
Although Noble I give your voice a tiny squeaking sound.
Equally noble is my third, I'm said to be mostly inert,
I'm used in incandescent lights so the filament won't get hurt.
My fourth is known as devilish stuff, of volcanoes I do smell,
Although no-one's been back to report, I'm supposed to stink like hell!
Finally I am used to make aeroplanes you can trust,
I'm light, I'm strong, I shine like new, I never, ever rust.
Put us all together, and you get what comes before,
Practice makes us perfect, go over it once more.
What am I?

Gyah, all I can get from it is Noble Gasses like Helium and sulfur in volcanoes. Other than that I'm stumped.
I have one! It's from the Hobbit:
Never was I seen before
Never to be seen a' more
A rainbow caught in a dome of sky
To air I'm born
To air I die
What am I?

Nope, but you're on the right track. Keep trying and I'll give you a hug and a cookie heart
Darn, and I read that book too. Can't remember it for the life of me! Foolish forgetings . . . my head is too overloaded anyways.

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?
No-legs lay on one-leg, two legs sat near on three legs, four legs got some.
An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
'That eye is like to this eye'
Said the first eye,
'But in low place
Not in high place.'
Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

Je suis a toi Here we go, first one. This one took me forever to solve on my own. Whoever solves this first I will give them a cookie.

Put us all together, and you get what comes before, Practice makes us perfect, go over it once more. What am I? GOT IT!! My first is Rhenium the last naturally occurring element to be discovered; used in Rhenium catalysts for gasoline refinement. (Re) My second is Helium, a noble gas that makes your voice squeak if you inhale it and also fills party balloons (He) My third is another noble gas Argon used in light bulbs because it won't chemically combine with the hot filament. (Ar) My fourth is sulfur (Sulphur) traditionally said to be the smell of hades (S) Finally a light strong metal used for aeroplanes is Aluminium (Al) Together: Re He Ar S Al The rehearsal comes before the performance. To go over something repeatedly is to rehearse it. therefore, you are REHEARSAL

Oooh, I know a few of these!
A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.
AN EGG
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
TEETH
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
That one I'm not so sure of so can I make two guesses? It's either darkness or time?

The beginning of everything but the end of time
the beginning of every end and the end of every place
the start of all eternity and the end of the rhyme
