We've all seen a rebus like "midstuckdle" (stuck in the middle). The following clues are "revrebuseserse" (rebuses in reverse). That is, the clues below are answers to rebuses which all use the "in" construction.

However, the original rebus from the clues below will actually form a word. For example, "Not old in actually existing" would be "renewal" (new in real). Can you solve the rest?

1. A short poem in scarlet
2. A room-dividing structure in a female pig.
3. A joining word in a close friend
4. A head of corn in grasping tightly
5. Nothing in what your eyes do
6. A wild beast's shelter in stinking decay

Mellyjc May 28, 2005	Clever! I don't care for the clue for verse, personally. I'd say "part of a song" would sound more accurate, but maybe thats just me.

auntiesis Jun 18, 2008	Didn't do well. Directions were confusing to me.
Jazzy_Sammy_13 Jun 18, 2008	That was really kool!! Unique too!!
barf314 Jun 18, 2008	Found all of them, but it took me about 40 minutes of playing with it. #4 had me stumped for a crazy long time. Awesome teaser!
sourdough Jun 19, 2008	Very nice indeedy! $D
zaya Jun 19, 2008	Great, original teaser. Got 4 of them (reversed, swallow, senile, rodent) For the record, the definition of cling is not "grasping tightly", its "come or be in close contact with; stick or hold together and resist separation". Maybe you were confused with clench or clutch.
composer Jun 21, 2008	Brilliant!
jennsingergirl Jun 23, 2008	This is very clever! I didn't get any of them, LOL! I'll try again if you have another one.
crazy10man Jun 18, 2011	Well done, Snaps! This has to be one of the most clever Teasers I've ever seen. Fantastic!
gaylewolf Jun 18, 2011	Rebuses (or is it rebi ?) are not really my thing. When I saw the answers, I thought oh, that makes sense! But I was WAY OFF in my responses. Maybe next time!
