I Am Both Safe and Secure
As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, I become the domain of beasts.
Stable. A table is a place of meeting. Able and ready is a common phrase, and a stable is where beasts reside (beasts of burden, not beasts like the one in Beauty and the Beast who lived in a glorious castle but the west wing was forbidden to enter until Belle…I’ve said too much!).

and nothing marks its presence on a map.
The horizon.

Twist and Dance
I love to twist and dance.
Though wingless, I fly high in the sky.
What am I?
A kite.
The Thinner It Grows
You use me from your head to your toes.
The more you use the thinner it grows.
For years I was not often used,
Not using me now is not excused.
Soap.
What I Embrace I Destroy
My first two letters say my name.
My last letter asks a question.
What I embrace I destroy.
What am I?
Ivy. IV is pronounced ivy, y is pronounced why and fast growing ivy can smother and kill trees, shrubs and grass.
