Here's the first one taken from the book smiley

My first is a common New York cry,

My next is an insect; now try

To guess my whole; a clew I'll give, though slight,

It oft emits my first, a glorious sight.

@Butterflee

I am going to give you the point for this riddle. yes Both your answers were really clever and fit the riddle. Maybe even better than the original answer.

The original intended answer is: 'stone'.

@DarkWolf stone like the unit of measurement you think? I'm terrible at these but I love them!

DarkWolf OP May 27th, 2019

@Lifer

It doesn't matter which definition of 'stone' was used, because the riddle doesn't adress that at all.. so 'noone' is just as valid as 'stone' or any other similar word.

That's ok yes there will be easier riddles too.. and it can still be fun to think about the harder riddles too. To stretch our brains a little angel

@Butterflee

Nope, the right answer isn't in there. And this riddle actually has one answer that quite clearly fits the best.

Little hint: the answer is 1 word.
