Liquid Splashes But None Seeps Through
When liquid splashes me, none seeps through,
When I’m moved a lot, liquid I spew,
When I am hit, color I change,
And colors I come in, quite a range,
What I cover is quite complex,
Yet I am very easy to flex.
What am I?
Skin
What Can Lift Objects
What can lift objects
or hopelessly try,
but only when filled,
or, lifeless, it lies?
A glove.

It Never Lasts Forever
You can have it
and be at it,
but it never
lasts forever.
Peace.

A Gentle Touch
What force and strength cannot get through,
I, with a gentle touch, can do.
And many in the street would stand,
were I not a friend at hand.
A key.
In Oven But Not Baked
What must be in the oven yet can not be baked?
Grows in the heat yet shuns the light of day?
What sinks in water but rises with air?
Looks like sand, but is fine as hair?
Yeast.
A Shorter Word
What word becomes shorter when you add letters to it?
Short. Adding ‘er’ to short gives you shorter.
