Alive Without Breath
Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Clad in mail never clinking,
Never thirsty, ever drinking
A fish.
Split Itself
What can split itself
before splitting something else?
Lightning. It looks like it’s splitting apart in the sky, and trees are split in half when struck by lightning.

Harvest Though No Grain
I harvest you, though you’ve no grain,
I reap you in the wind and rain,
You bleed not but your soft meat
And nectar makes a sweetest treat.
What am I?
A clam or oyster. You harvest clams or oysters on the beach or go diving, and the beach is often windy and rainy. Neither bleeds but are known for having, soft, slimy meat, and people often drink the “clam nectar” or “oyster juice”.

Two Bodies Joined in One
Two bodies have I, though both joined in one,
The more I stand still the faster I run.
What am I?
An hourglass.
