Reaching Stiffly For The Sky
Reaching stiffly for the sky,
I bare my fingers when it’s cold
In warmth I wear an emerald glove
And in between I dress in gold
A deciduous tree.
I Wear You Down
I wear you down, yet you will mourn me once I fly.
You can kill me, but I will never die.
Time.
(found in The Copper Gauntlet by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare)
I Can Ruin a Lucky Run
I can ruin a lucky run,
Or create an item of wealth,
But for man, woman or child,
I’ll always steal your health.
What am I?
Die. The roll of a die can ruin a game of chance. A die (i.e. mold) is used to create new coins and so far at least, we all die.
I’m Yours, But Used More By Others
I belong to you, but am used more by others.
What am I?
Your name. It could also be your phone number.
Cracked, Made, Told and Played
It can be cracked,
It can be made,
It can be told,
It can be played.
What is it?
A joke.
Two Faces But Show You One
I have two faces, but show you one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new.
The moon. It has two sides, but on earth we only ever see one side. Man has been on the moon, but no one is there now. A full lunar eclipse is known as a blood moon, and the phrase “once in a blue moon” refers to something that rarely happens. Promising the moon is making an extravagant or impossible promise, and there’s a new moon once every lunar cycle.
T is Like an Island
How is the letter T like an island?
It’s in the middle of waTer.
