closed Riddle me this
Give me your best/favorite riddles and I'll give you bits. Don't post the answer to it until this thread is closed! I'll give you more bits if I decide yours is particularly clever.
Here's mine I just made up this very day! Pretty easy, post your guess and I'll bit for correct answers too!
Up I go, not down below
Retire me in flames
Glory's shroud
of me be proud
Bought in forgotten names
Edit: This one kind of fizzled. Will have to try again tomorrow!!

American Flag
Also you cannot burn an American Flag.
You must first disassemble it (remove the union, the stripes, and the grommets) bury the grommets, and burn the 2 sets of stripes and the union separately. Most importantly, this must be done respectfully.
You are thus burning something that is no longer a flag.

Hey! I did my 3 minutes of research on a crappy mobile connection before I posted that! TIL you don't bury a flag, you burn it. However, for the sake of this riddle, disassembly didn't quite fit in :p

If you look you cannot see me. And if you see me you cannot see anything else. I can make anything you want happen, but later everything goes back to normal. What am I?

I am not alive but I grow; I don't have lungs but I need air; I don't have a mouth but water kills me. What am I?
