Dancing All The Time
Moving to and fro,
Dancing all the time.
Only to be moved by others
To allow them to pass by.
What am I?
A door.
A City in the Twilight
Half-way up the hill, I see thee at last, lying beneath me with thy sounds and sights — A city in the twilight, dim and vast, with smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights.
The Past (Longfellow).
A Cloth Poorly Dyed
A cloth poorly dyed
And an early morning sky
How are they the same?
Their color both change easily.
Cheap To Make, Easy To Define
I’m cheap to make and easy to define.
A riverbank could populate the line.
What am I?
A boundary.

Eyes That Don’t See
Most of you have two eyes. I only have one.
Most of you have eyeballs. I do not.
Your eyes aren’t dangerous, neither are mine.
But all together, I am extremely dangerous.
You can see things with your eyes.
I can’t see anything, even though the air is clear where my eye is.
What am I?
The eye of a tornado or hurricane. Could also be the eye of a needle.
Long Legs Crooked Thighs
Long legs, crooked thighs,
Little head and no eyes.
No burn, make a ting,
Use hands, but no ring.
What am I?
A pair of tongs.
Grow In Trees and Have No Teeth
I grow in trees, eat living things but have no teeth and give birth to something that looks nothing like me. What am I?
A bird. They are hatched and raised in trees (nests), don’t have teeth in the traditional meaning of teeth and they lay eggs, which look nothing like a bird.
A butterfly / caterpillar could also work.
Crawl on the Earth, Rise on Pillar
I crawl on the earth and rise on a pillar.
What am I?
A shadow.
