hello Kikacat123 - nice to meet you here. looks like fun. warning: i like to play with words.

ah thank you Y-san *bows* - the true value though is that nothing is real, no matter how slight; unless of course it is imaginary. ... spring is in ... (apologies to all the other hemispherers)

the root of all that is negative is complex

EDIT:

pecker, dead, worm words commonly followed by "wood" ply, task, vitamin - _____

and that'll settle it.

Right you are sir. And now the finale? May be a little anticlimactic at this point

replacement for the third couplet - Off shore in other words my name thus compounded And the coolest of circles I can almost be found in

Feeling the most foolish. reviewed what i had intended as the final answer and discovered a mistake. you may be able to solve regardless. am working on a replacement clue fwiw. You guys are both correct - your answers not feelings that is.

hey DD - neither am afraid. your second one above's getting there i think.

Nope, dis ain't it.

Yes indeed, and with the i. Spot on.

that's it! (for 7.) grounded in logic, but this one doesnt take flight sorry Thalia - not he

When ordering an Americano one expects it to be hot but not so strong.

not him; failed; wrong one; not needed for this; and Om, no Maybe I worded that poorly. I meant the whole line isn't necessarily strictly a definition. More of a description in some cases, as you said.no worries yes, that's 99.99% correct, .01% grammatical error Wilson's still closer

hey Thalia - dont know about less focus on definition. The fifth is actually four different definitions of the same word. There are certainly mere discriptive clues. But generally these are two line What-Am-I's. Of course with a little wordplay most of which is a more literal meaning vs the idiomatic meaning/common use of a phrase. Can think of two instances where the wordplay is different. One of them already discovered by Wilson in the first clue - "'tis the sound of" hinting at a homophone. And a different instance in the sixth one. Hope that didn't throw you off...too much.
