Born in the dark of a silent sea, A speck of dust is the start of me. Wrapped in ribbons of glossy white, I leave the ocean to capture light. No diamond's spark, no ruby's gleam, I shine as soft as a nighttime dream. A hidden treasure, a precious prize, Kept in a shell till I meet your eyes

I wear green armor, round and wide, With a ruby-red treasure locked inside. I’m full of seeds, yet I’m not a flower, And on hot summer days, I’m the coolest power. I grow on vines but never climb, I’m mostly water, but taste sublime. Crack my shell and you’ll soon see What am I?

Found on dragons, lizards, and the like, I fend off blades and arrows with ease. If you find me in a loo, step on my and cry out geez!

A strand of hair, a candle's dying breath, a flicker, a sliver of all that's left. Like a whisper, I'm barely there, a half faded memory, a wing and a prayer.

I throw a tantrum across the sky, leaving puddles when I pass by.
