The Pencil Riddle-Ryan Karanian and Sydny Khim
I am very simple
but I do much more.
I am an artist, an architect,
a writer, and a waiter.
I'm speechless, but I say so much.
I clean up my mistakes as easily as I make them;
leaving only a light trail of grey.
If you bend me too far, I'll snap.
If you push me too hard, I'll break.
And when I do, do not worry.
Sharpen me and I will be as good as new.
I've stood the test of time;
never becoming obsolete.
Many have been made similar,
but never better.
There are many forms of me.
I can wear any shirt I want, with any design.
I am a rainbow, making any color I choose.
I am everywhere.
I am your best friend in school.
You touch me more than anyone else.
Chances are you can see me right now.

Anglo-Saxon Riddle-Sam Markelon and Anthony Licata
I am what many people have.
Those who do not, want me.
Yet still others despise me.
I am a portal to the world unknown.
Rarely do I fail. I am ready at hand,
At any time, place, or situation.
I symbolize human ingenuity
I am the vision of the modern visionary.
My competitors: imitators, not innovators,
They compromise where I am unwilling to.
My sleek and supple beauty inside and out,
Radiates the philosophy of my grand inventor,
Whose legend remains eternally graced upon the world.
I am the king of media and consumption.
My creator gave me my own virtual marketplace,
And has strengthened my abilities year by year.
I am like the modern stone to a symbolic stone age.
I am the dawn of the true information era,
Conducting those who are not connectable. What am I?

English Riddle-Mike Boucher and Ethan Surveski
I come in many shapes and sizes,
From large to small; thin as a pencil
to thicker than a brick.
I have a spine but no other bones.
I am the guide to infinite knowledge,
and make peoples' wildest dreams come true.
Open me up and let your imagination run wild,
for I offer little restraint or boundaries.
I am the voice of many,
but I myself do not utter a word.
Some people adore me;
others can't stand to use me
In the history of man, a few people
have tried to quell the knowledge I possess,
But my existence is eternal.
Some people have trouble using me,
while others can use me with incredible precision,
allowing them to convey their knowledge to others.

Up, Up and Away-Heather Williams and Hunter Fabretti
I spend my days drifting in the wind,
affecting the people below.
When I am strong, the world will change,
in only a matter of time.
But when I'm weak, I float and float
until you cannot see me anymore.
I soar across the earth
and never stay the same.
You may thank me on a hot day,
or you may hate me on a cold day.
I am forever changing,
though usually gone at night.
Without my help,
you would not survive.
My life is never ending,

Riddle-Connor Angers and Alex Pearson
My nine brothers and I stand tall,
Like soldiers lined for battle.
Our brigade stands brave,
Against imminent impact.
Day after day we serve as targets,
Unable to escape the perpetual loop,
Of fall and rise.
We live without the sun,
Only the dim lights of our world
Reflect off of our curved white bodies.
Red rings choke our round necks.
Indelible black scuffs cover our bodies.
Scars.
To remind us what we are.
We are . . .?

Untitled - By Audrey, Emma, and Nicole
I'm always on the watch,
when I hear someone I'm always on the way,
with legs running fast, I'm like a cheetah.
I'm as comfortable on land as I am in the water.
One-piece or two-pieces, I'm always worldwide.
I'm more important than you might think,
saving lives, that's my job.
Hanging close to my heart,
an instrument lies,
warning others with the cry of a bird,
I dive into

The Time Metronome - Maddie Case and Nicole Crockett
I am the passage of time
My thin, white dust
runs through the gap in arms at a steady pace.
It is said that when the sand dissolves completely,
a consequence awaits you.
The time is grasped in my hands
until the final remnants slip away
The energy inside me has been take
from its original domain-
on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean
The glass containing my energy shatters
when I am released-
Like a tall glass skyscraper being destroyed
when a building crashes down,
The life inside it dissipates -
Similar to the way the holder of time
eventually comes to an end.

Riddle - Trent Millum, Tom DiSorbo, Jack Nepomuceno
I am what I am,
And what I am will most likely frustrate you.
I'm so simple, obvious; I'm sitting right under your nose.
I'll make you scratch your hair in thought, rub your chin pondering,
Which is wasted in essence.
I'm right here, waiting for you to say the obvious.
I'm curled and twisted and many different people have had many different forms of me.
I can be any shape, size, color, pattern or texture,
And even if you cut me off I will grow back.
I'm a monkey, man, melon, monarch, mother, Muslim, and sometimes a compass.
I'm also dead.
Have I made you mad, angry, and confused?
Good, that is my purpose.
No doubt as you grow older I will grow,
Even more easily than before.
Good luck poor soul, for I am a kite.

Our Riddle - Emily Delaney, Katherine Hunt, Caytlin Unhoch
The origins of my kind are endless.
Made up of riches
Found deep beneath the earth.
I've traveled far and wide,
Through both a rich and poor man's pocket,
To understand the destinations
In which life is leading them in.
My hunger intensifies as we grow nearer
But the keeper of me has such temerity
That I scarcely have the opportunity
To fulfill my purpose.
My teeth tingle to turn as they enter my home.
Few can compare
To the number of mysteries I've unraveled.
Can you unravel this one?

Riddle - Nate Virovoy and Dane Atkins
I was the thing,
An advance in technology, playing along
Yet today I sit alone, stacked upon a shelf
Between hits and misses;
The favorites and the others.
I used to spin and dance,
I've witnessed history and recorded it,
I've witnessed failure yet contain it,
I've witnessed tragedy and will forever hold it.
We all started black; yet we crave the status of
Silver and gold.
Poked incessantly by that stinging pin,
Yet knowing that this pain;
Will make you happy.
Residing in the common household,
Taking a trip from the store,
Living in the Whitehouse;
But not playable in a car.
My car suffused with ridges,
Like the rings of Saturn,
For every imperfection a perfection.
But now I stand alone,
Just the favorite no longer the others with me,
Collecting dust no more am I the best.
Do you remember me?

My Family of Lights- Matt Rinkus and Sean Woodcox
I'm so empty, yet full
Full with jewels and belts
A great warrior drinks from my ladle
The august lion bounds across my forsaken unknown
As the archer takes aim at the big bear
The herdsman is there to quell the mighty brawl
Taurus stomped through my vastness
And Pegasus flew through my rings
As my Queen swooned over her heroes
Hercules and Perseus
The Twins looked over my Fish
As I looked over Ursa's Minor
My celestial Swan was being chased by Scorpious
Across my fields of endless night
My grand family of lights wrapped in nocturnal darkness
I'm so empty, yet full
Full with jewels and belts
A great warrior drinks from my ladle
The august lion bounds across my forsaken unknown
As the archer takes aim at the big bear
The herdsman is there to quell the mighty brawl
Taurus stomped through my vastness
And Pegasus flew through my rings
As my Queen swooned over her heroes

As I looked over Ursa's Minor

Across my fields of endless night

Something that consumes Americans,
It can cause fights,
But also make relationships.
It is as pointless as a brick,
Yet it can do so much.
Its lifespan is not very long,
But can be resurrected.
You can see people from across the world,
But yet cannot e with them.
It can break as easily as a window,
But can be resurrected.
You can see people from across the world,
But yet cannot be with them.
It can break as easily as a window,
But can be shielded with armor.
Compact, complex yet even children can use it.
It baffles the old yet intrigues the young.
It's the bible of modern day.
It is a resourceful tool,
Yet can be a paperweight.
It is the problem and solution.

Anglo-Saxon Riddle - Kali Meadows, Jenna Sadecki
I live under the clear blue of the sea
And the tide pulls at me in every which way
Yet I do not swim
Or move much at all
I cling to my home for dear life
Hugging, holding on
For fear of being swept away
Into the vast unknown of the shore
A place where my brothers and sisters have gone
Ripped from their homes by the cruel current
And never returned
I am quiet as a mouse
As I listen to the calling of the mermaid's dwelling
My friends are few and far between
In the lonesomeness of the abyss
My universe, my galaxy
A place the sun does not call home
For it cannot reach
The deep blue in which I live and breathe
Call me by name
If you know who I am
But I cannot promise that I will answer.

Ethan and Osric's Riddle
I have been around since the
beginning of time, yet every year
all of my children die.
It's a sad sight to see me
in the dead of winter, alone,
in the cold without my family.
But I have armor to protect
me so I don't suffer the same fate.
I can be as tall as a giant
or as short as a young child.
I have claws that I dig in the
ground to keep me stable.
I am a strong bull fighting
against the forces of mother nature.
But sometimes, even I lose the battle.
In some places I'm everywhere yet in others I'm nowhere to be found.

People look to me, they rely on my job.
No matter what where or when,
People need to know what I say
We come in all shapes and sizes.
I never stop moving, but
You can't tell if I'm moving or not,
I'm taller than some skyscrapers
Or I can fit in your hand,
I'm what keeps the world moving
And what keeps people in motion.
My arms are the sunrise and sunset
There are millions and billions of me
Everywhere you need me
I am always there
I'm like the backbone of the world
Because I keep everything organized.
