THREE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

Going forward, a treat you deserve,

Perhaps a cake, or fruit preserve;

Going backward, you may be seething,

But lose one of three, and you might be leaving.

2)

My first is in fish but not in scale,

My second in rabbit but not in tail;

My third in up but not i down,

My fourth in tiara but not in crown.

My fifth in tree you can plainly see,

My whole a food for you and me.

3)

Pulled along by forces on high,

The laws of nature their powers ply;

In and out, to this rhythm I'm bound,

I sweep the shore in eternal round.
