This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.
If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going. 
I will start with this riddle:
What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?
Sometimes I'm high and sometimes low,
and I creep between your toes.
My orders come from the sky,
I make men fall and rise.
What am I?
Stranded where the castle once stood, with only a couple of places to go.
Took a short journey to the border, I now see twice as many opportunities.
Stood there contemplating the future, do I risk the safety I have here?
I can double my choices once more, but only by stepping into the heart of battle.
Who/what am I?
@DarkWolf a checkers piece?
I have been thinking a chess piece, but because I'm a chess-tard, I wouldn't know specifically which one.
I surround you (...from both directions). What am I?
@DarkWolf
Because the riddle can be a bit confusing, here's a Hint (in rebus form):
I start with a pitch, an easy throw.
A zip down the middle, stakes are low.
At the park, an overhead dome.
Pop up, grounded, a slide-into home.
What am I?
My white kitchen towels are like that
@ladylazarus1971
But those white kitchen towels are probably clean when white, and dirty when black? Not the other way around? 
The answer to this riddle has a hole in the middle, and some have been known to fall in it. In tennis it's nothing, but it can be recieved, and sometimes a person may win it. Though not seen or heard it may be perceived. What is it?
