Right Behind You Creeps on the Ground
It’s right behind you,
And creeps on the ground,
It follows you home,
But does not make a sound.
Careful when you turn around.
What is it?
Your shadow.
It Never Lasts Forever
You can have it
and be at it,
but it never
lasts forever.
Peace.

Say My Name
Say my name and I disappear. What am I?
Silence.
An alternate version is, “What is so fragile it breaks when you say its name?”
Has Teeth But Can’t Bite
What has teeth but can’t bite?
A comb. Other inanimate objects with teeth like a saw, zipper or a gear can “bite” you. Many people can affirm from painful experience in regards to zippers and saws, and the unfortunate factory worker who is missing a finger can attest to gears. It’s a rare event that anyone would be injured by a comb.
Another grim option is a dead animal or person.
A Surprise Party
What is a surprise party without any cause for celebration?
An ambush.
Where None Should Be
One where none should be,
Or maybe where two should be,
Seeking out purity,
In the kings trees.
What am I?
A unicorn
Alive Without Breath
Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Clad in mail never clinking,
Never thirsty, ever drinking
A fish.
