Riddle of the Day List

I imitate life, it is said,

Lost when skills are dead,

I amuse, I amaze,

On a wall or on a stage.

Work to grow and provide,

Then split in half when it is time,

A tiny space some call home,

Building block of all life known.

Sticky staple worldwide known,

Fill your belly, save your phone,

Sometimes white, sometimes brown,

Add some liquid and chow down.

Vibrant colors in a soft bed,

Landing pad for aircraft,

Open when ready to spread,

Sweet smells that help attract.

Born from a vine in sunshine,

Look at my legs, admire my nose,

In cold darkness I bide my time,

Stacked up in rows and rows.

Juicy body, flaky skin,

May make you shed a tear,

Layers and layers rest within,

Sheathed savory sphere.
