1) All about, but cannot be seen,
-- Can be captured, cannot be held,
-- No throat, but can be heard.
-- What is it?

2) In a marble hall white as milk
-- Lined with skin as soft as silk
-- Within a fountain crystal-clear
-- A golden apple doth appear.
-- No doors there are to this stronghold,
-- Yet thieves break in to steal its gold.
-- What is it?

3) Pronounced as one letter,
-- And written with three,
-- Two letters there are,
-- And two only in me.
-- I'm double, I'm single,
-- I'm black, blue, and gray,
-- I'm read from both ends,
-- And the same either way.
-- What am I?
________________________________________
4) You throw away the outside and cook the inside
-- Then you eat the outside & throw away the inside
-- What did you eat?
________________________________________
5) I fly, yet I have no wings.
-- I cry, yet I have no eyes.
-- Darkness follows me; lower light I never see.
-- What am I?

6) What is red and smells like blue paint?

Does anyone have all these yet? I'm having a bit o'trouble with riddles 2 and 6! Hmmm . . . still thinkin' . . .
Aunt Sue: You are doing much better than I am! I’m not very good at riddles but am giving these an honest attempt…
Just guessing here:
could #1 be 'air' or 'wind'?
could #2 be something intangible such as 'time' or 'love'?
could #3 be 'eye'?
could #4 be 'an artichoke'?
could #5 be 'a cloud'
I have no idea for #6!
