Riddles!
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?
I've little strength, but mighty powers;
I guard small hovels and great towers.
But if perchance my master leaves,
He must ensure he safeguards me.
What is it?
There's someone that I'm always near,
Yet in the dark I disappear.
To this one only I am loyal,
Though in his wake I'm doomed to toil.
He feels me not (we always touch);
If I were lost, he'd not lose much.
And now I come to my surprise,
For you are he - but who am I ?
I'm often held, yet rarely touched;
I'm always wet, yet never rust;
I'm sometimes wagged and sometimes bit;
To use me well, you must have wit.
What am I?
It stands alone, with no bone or solid form.
Adamant, it prospers never wrong,
though hurt it may.
Twistable, malleable, might it be,
but always straight as an arrow.
What is it?
@DarkWolf words?
@mikhaela
That might be true, but I'm really searching for another answer.
@DarkWolf could it be destiny? fate?

I think this riddle might be a big vague to really get you to the one original answer. But I will give people some time to guess, and if nobody gets it, I will just give the answer. Your answers were still not the ones I am looking for.
@DarkWolf it is. I'll sleep on it then. :D
What does man love more than life,
hate more than death or mortal strife;
That which contented men desire,
the poor have, the rich require;
The miser spends, the spendthrift saves,
and all men carry to their graves?
What is it?
A long snake
With a stinging bite,
I stay coiled up
Unless I must fight.
What am I?
In the eyes it causes blindness,
in the nose just a sneeze;
Yet some suck this down,
and act as if pleased.
What is it?
This is the riddle that comes up if you search for the hardest possible riddle. Is there anyone clever enough to come up with an answer?
I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champagne bubble.
If you squeeze me, Ill pop.
If you look at me, youll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?
@DarkWolf no
@mikhaela
That's actually the right answer! The correct answer is either 'yes' or 'no'. No would be correct because there is actually not an answer that satisfies all the rules laid out in the riddle. Yes would be correct because you can guess the riddle, you just won't be correct (see the last line of the riddle)
I'm a strange contradiction; I'm new, and I'm old,
I'm often in tatters, and oft decked with gold.
Though I never could read, yet lettered I'm found;
Though blind, I enlighten; though loose, I am bound,
I'm always in black, and I'm always in white;
I'm grave and I'm gay, I am heavey and light-
In form too I differ - I'm thick and I'm thin,
I've no flesh and bones, yet I'm covered with skin;
I've more points than the compass, more stops than the flute;
I sing without voice, without speaking confute.
I'm English, I'm German, I'm French, and I'm Dutch;
Some love me too fondly, some slight me too much;
I often die soon, though I sometimes live ages,
And no monarch alive has so many pages.
What am I?
