0 Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 a couple of ppl have got part of the right answer, but w/o explaining how it relates to all 4 lines (in diff. ways), it doesn't quite work (I'm really not nitpicking, even though it may seem so). here's a hint: the 4 lines relate to different meanings of one thing (which may, in one meaning, have already been guessed).

0 Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Clock seems possible. 1st line: clocks strike the hour, often run on coiled springs. 2nd/3rd lines: not sure, but reference to time and makes me think of alarm clock, time to get up (unfurl, unravel, etc.) (warming babble: clock radio, wake up to news, talk shows, music, etc.) 4th line: ask 10 people in a room what time it is and each has a watch, but each gives you a different time. Some of that's a bit of a stretch, but that's what it calls to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 A spring. 1. In a clock, ready to stike. 2. A sailing use of the term regarding the wood of the mast. 3. The season. 4. Same word, but different meanings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 The Farm came closest to the answer, so I'm posting what I had now: Spring (4 diff. definitions/meanings) Tightly coiled, and ready to strike- clock spring Time to unfurl, unfold, unravel- season (blooming) Time to bask in the warming babble- spring as in brook All the same, yet nothing like- part of cycle (repetitive) of new life/birth (always unique)... also a hint for riddle solution (all the lines refer to the same word, but diff meanings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
