FOUR RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

My whole means little - next to nothing,

One letter less, I'm two people running;

Another letter less, I'm a card or a pro,

Back to my whole, a copy I'll show.

2)

Thirty white horses in a red cave,

In rank, tight abreast, each member a stave;

Some laden in silver, but not for its cost,

Some riding on bridges not meant to be crossed.

Though never among them be found king or queen,

A crown of gold can often be seen.

3)

I have not wings, yet I fly;

I have not eyes, yet I cry.

4)

I creep in each evening with never a sound,

A thousand horses can't pull me off the ground;

But with a single stroke of the sun's mighty blade,

My power concedes, my substance fades.
