We are little creatures;
all of us have different features.
One of us in glass is set;
one of us you'll find in jet.
Another you may see in tin,
and the fourth is boxed within .
If the fifth you should pursue,
it can never fly from you.
What are we?
please help me i cant figure it out im so confused

The 1st is in "glass"
The 2nd is in "jet"
The 3rd is in "tin"
The 4th is in "boxed"
The 5th is not in "fly"
Does that help?
If not, note that there are 5 of them (or sometimes 6  )!

I've also seen vowels described as follows:
We're five little objects of an everyday sort,
You'll find us all in a tennis court.
