Riddles

[Raven]

The very man, himself. Sgread as he has been known. I've encouraged him to stop by here -- hopefully he will. He has Facebook though I think if you'd like to try to catch up with him.

Here's the next riddle.

I can travel all over the world, but I always stay in my corner. What am I?

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Funny thing is I saw this while looking for my own riddle...and now I've forgotten it. I know the corner is metaphorical. I have this feeling like it's a place...

I think I got it: Australia.

[Raven]

It's not Australia,
although it can go there.
It's not a place,
though you'll find it in one.
Deliver me the answer,
And carry to me the message.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

A stamp.

How about this?

I have wood but no bark,
leaves that don't fall,
I am made up of branches,
and I come in sizes of all.
I am completely devoured many times,
over and over by a worm of a kind.
If you desire to know the answer of mine,
look for the secret that I've stored inside.
What am I?

[Raven]

A book. Leaves are pages, maybe wood for the paper, a bookworm is the worm. Am I right?
I don't get the secret inside, though.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Sort of. But books don't have branches. They can be found on branches, of course. And once you take them, they're yours...for a price.

[Raven]

You're killing me with this one.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Where do bookworms go to feast? Keep in mind that they don't intend to merely rent their meals...

[Raven]

A library?
But what is the secret inside business?

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Library "meals" are intended to be returned. These...well, you get what you pay for.

As for the secret inside......I don't know, I didn't write it. Yeah, that may be a fatal flaw in it.

[Raven]

A bookstore?

I have a fear that I keep barking up the wrong tree, but I think I've got it now. . .

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

YES!!!!!

[Raven]

Someone by the moniker of Dimers posted this somewhere on the net. I'll repost it here for our riddle.

Lives in winter, dies in summer, grows with its root upwards.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

I'll admit that I'm stumped. I doubt that it's actually a plant, and mountain roots don't go upward. I think I need some hints.

NOTE: I've been fine. I just didn't feel the pressing need to post anything at the time.

[Raven]

I'm cousin to the teeth of caves,
and kindred to the ocean waves.
