The Most Impressive Boundary
The most impressive boundary’s not a wall.
It’s not a manufactured thing at all.
Moving towards it won’t reduce the gap
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.
I Was Not Born
I was not born, but I am here.
I have no name, but I am given many.
I was made by science and life.
What am I?
A clone.
I Widen My Jaws
I flex my jaws when you use me,
My only purpose is to damage,
Yet I’m used by small children.
What am I?
Scissors.
Bought By the Yard
I am bought by the yard but worn by the foot. What am I?
Carpet. Worn is used in the sense of a well-worn item.

A Metal Roof and a Glass Wall
I have a metal roof and a glass wall,
I burn and burn but never fall.
What am I?
A lantern.
A Trail of Silver
If you carried my burden, you would be crushed.
Though not rich, I leave a trail of silver.
What am I?
A snail. They carry their homes on their back, and a house would crush a person (even the tiny houses). And the trail of silver is a bit of a stretch, but it’s the slimy, gooey substance snails leave behind them.
