The Student Room Group

Can you solve this riddle before a member of the TSR staff gets it?

I've left it for them on a whiteboard in a meeting room.

Q: What am I?

My first is in comrade, but not in friend
My second's a loop, a line with no end
My third and my fourth are like birds in the air
My fifth is a horseshoe, good luck it brings there
My sixth is in nurture and also in nation
My seventh appears three times in inspiration
My eight and my ninth are how to say thank you
Unravel this riddle to answer the Q

my first is in paper but never in crease
my second in lubing but never in grease
my third and fourth are what ladies love
my fifth is in Littlehampton but never in Hove
my sixth is in envy but never in lust
my last is in student and also in thrust

Who Am I ????

Love and Hove don't rhyme :frown:

My first is in poet, but never in poem
My second’s in haiku and and also in haibun,
My third’s in […] and also in elegy
My fourth is in ballad and also bardolatry
My fifth is in epilogue and epigram
My sixth is in accent and in anagram
My seventh’s in rhyme but never in slang,
Solve this riddle to find out who I am.

is that something related to ellipsis ?
First think of a creature named after a place
A novelised creature, with a peculiar face
Next, turn your attention to a fire in a grate
Of the warmth and the comfort that this thing can create
Let us not forget also, the land of the 'net
An icon that strives to cause grief and upset
And finally, illumination, in the form of a thin shaft of light
Could be just one way of describing this action, so bright
Now ponder these clues, and ponder them well
String them together, and what do they spell?
