FIVE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
A weapon stout,
A precious jewel,
The source of life,
A farmer's tool.

Who are we?

2)
Seen by all, noticed by few;
It's what's beyond me that they want to view.

3)
With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force it doles out fate;
Over bloodless victims proclaims its might,
Joining together in a single bite.
(And strange to say -- with never a fight.)

4)
From there to here I disappear,
From here to there I reappear.

5)
Though it's in plain view to the naked eye,
We'll never reach it -- no matter how we try;
As we get closer, it sounds retreat,
Where earth and sky do seem to meet.
A symbol of adventure -- of what may lie ahead,
Filling some with hope, and some with dread.

HINTS:
3. It's not alive, and you've undoubtedly used one many times.

Answers:

1. Club, Diamond, Heart, and Spade -- the four suits in a deck of cards.
2. A window
3. A stapler
4. The letter T
5. The horizon
