Bottoms Up -- Spring is in the Air

Question

Comes often between as's almost now

Willingly, readily, in the future somehow

Up up in the sky, over seas it soars

All in good time, they say, take yours

Stand on the street, you might come by me

Then maybe a kid, tickled pink they could be

With such a great deal, the odds are remote

Yet this could help you, to stay afloat

You've made your bed now, so on it you must lay

Too, ironic this vow, to love honor and obey

Solve each of the five, two line riddles above

Then follow the clues, for some additional love

Hey Wilson - so good to see you here. Have my money on you for the finale. None of the above will help you get there tho.

chance, risk?

stranger?

hello ana_stassia - good answers all but not what I'm looking for. re 4. the bit about "remote odds" is kind of a nuance of the answers meaning and not really important as a clue. not my proudest, sorry.

raft, rope or barge?

Dude, nailed another. Good stuff.

raft as in a great many; a large group brought together usually indiscriminately and the kind you can float on

I'm not sure what that final riddle means. What does it mean "Then follow the clues for additional love?"

There are five mini-riddles (one per couplet) each with a one word answer and then the five answers are further involved in a puzzle to find the final answer. Each couplet might contain any number of plays on words like homophones, puns, double entendre, etc. (reading them very literally can be helpful). Ultimately though, I would call them what am I's. Here are a couple of links to similar ones from before: I will say the clues could be any part of the OP that is not the five couplets. Hope this helps. Dont mind answering any questions you might have. Thanks for checking out the riddle.
