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.
Voiceless It Cries
Voiceless it cries, wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouth-less mutters. What is it?
The wind.
I Turn Around Once
I turn around once,
What is out will not get in.
I turn around again.
What is in will not get out.
What am I?
A key.
Another Name for Shiva
My first three is another name for the Hindu god Shiva.
My last four create something to wear.
Together I might use a scythe.
What am I?
Harvest.
Har is another name for Shiva.
A vest is something you wear.
And a harvest might use a scythe.
Hear a Lot, Say a Lot
I hear a lot
And I say a lot
Few ever look for me
And even fewer ever hear me
I hide in plain sight
Whether its day or night
To help is all I want
But most like to bend me
And as if they had a wand
Never again shall anyone find me
They do this to control
Without realizing the high price of a soul
But when I’m least expected
They’d rather be protected
For there shall be no place to hide
What am I?
The truth.
Same Forward, Backward and Upside Down
What word is the same written forward, backward and upside down?
NOON. The word needs to be a palindrome and made up of only these letters that look the same upside down:
H I N O S X Z
For instance, SOON doesn’t work, because even though each letter looks the same upside down, it reads NOOS.
