It's got no feet,
      but it sure does travel.

For your flock of sheep one, the best answer I can come up with is a bouquet of wilting red roses, and quite frankly, that's a terrible answer :(

No, sorry. :)

Empires are built at my mercy
And in my rage they flee in a hurry
I am consumed, yet I can devour
I bring thunder when you feel my power
I am Heaven's vein to whom men pray
Yet I can bring you to the gates of Hell where Cerberus stays

Hmmmm... Fire? The flames are consumed by the wind, yet they can devour.

Wait, for your "no mouth" one, did anyone already say cell phone?

It was the first one given, if I recall.

Remember, these are ancient riddles. They predate today's technology.

Ok, another guess for Leonardo: The written word.

I have a new one too:

As I am, I remain.
If I'm young, I remain young.
If I'm old, I remain old.
What am I?

A Polaroid of You_Too ;)

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

I am brown and sound like a bell.

I have no nose and yet I smell.

Ah, finally figured out Leonardo's riddle then! (Or at least very close)

And AntcuFaalb was right, the answer is photograph or picture.
I think my riddles might be too easy...

I have a new one:

You cut my head without staining me red,
then cry over me when I am dead.

for the record, I did not create this, I just found it on the web, and thought it was a good one.

 

What does man love more than life,
Fear more than death or mortal strife.
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire.
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves,
And all men carry to their graves?

Flowers.

 

I nearly said "news" instead of rumour... would that have counted?

Oh yeah. Duh. Completely disregarded the second part of that.
