SIX RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
Two brothers are we,
As close as close can be;
Joined by a bridge,
Yet never each other do we see.

2)
Glittering points that downward thrust,
Sparkling spears that never rust.

3)
At the sound of me some may dream or stamp their feet,
Some may laugh and some may weep.

4)
It always runs, but never walks,
Often murmurs, but never talks;
It has a bed, but never sleeps,
It has a mouth, but never eats.

5)
Reaching stiffly for the sky,
I bear my fingers when it's cold;
In warmth I wear an emerald glove,
And in between I dress in gold.

6)
One by one we fall as from heaven,
Marking time's march from past to present;
And our world, though ever upturned,
Spares no man---simple or learned.
