Quintuple Riddle Twists Wordbank Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

My first, central element particular,
my second's around wherever you are,
third; commonest ORDINARY article far,
whole: ELEVEN cm consequential cigar,
CLOUDING SUNRISE COLOURS, eclipse solar.

First: frequently limited, (corporate law) ,
second: racehorse punters READILY draw,
thirdly - exclamation like ooh-la-di-dah!
MINE whole corresponds to STAR circle stellar,
judicial court before funeral car.

First, army command for General four star,
second; possessions, LIFTing man above par,
third; CORNY slang which concurrence would bar,
my whole both church chandelier, dentist's lodestar
or whorl supplementary forming fair flow'r.

My first READY painter whose wide repetoire
embraced classic BEAUTY, plein air, on radar,
second; HEALING element, seen on sandbar
by OLDER BRAVE salts - not fluorspar.
My whole, viral ABYSS, HEMS in 'au revoir! '

Firstly sacred book, decries canopic jar,
second gives PAIN, TEENAGE KISS, LOVE, debar
if LESS MATURITY, - hopes AXEd, feelings CHAR,
third: narrowing options, emotions jar.
All: oil BOAT's ESSENCE crowned heads cannot mar.

Triple Riddle

My first, central element particular,
my second is present wherever you are,
my third is the commonest article far,
my whole represents consequential cigar,
or often accompanies eclipse solar.

My first, often limited, corporate law,
my second sometimes racehorse punters may draw,
my third - exclamation with oh-la-di-dah!
my whole corresponds to a circle stellar,
or judicial court before funeral car.

My first, in the army's for Gen'ral four star,
my second possession, man's search above par,
my third may be slang which concurrence would bar,
my whole both church chandelier, dentist's lodestar
or whorl supplementary formed for fair flow'r.

Riddle - Corona

My first from the centre ne'er strays very far,
my second is with you wherever you are,
my third is the commonest article far,
my whole may at times be considered cigar -
at others accompanies eclipse solar.

My first, often limited, drawn up by law,
my second a colour that punters may draw,
my third - exclamation with ooh la-di-dah!
my whole is applied to a circle stellar,
or to he who holds court before funeral car.
