Riddles

These are riddles I have written, some might be easy, others could be quite difficult. Please try to solve them before inspecting for the answer.

⬤

Something below me
That comes after A, but before B
And when you land on it what sound does it make?
Don’t fret! Your first answer is guaranteed to be correct!

⬤

It is not empty but it has three holes
It has three eyes and lurks below
One word alone cannot capture its essence
And the answer is hidden in this sentence

⬤

“Oh!” I exclaimed, seeing that almost everyone who left the bathroom went to stand in a perfectly orderly line waiting for our… our what? (hint: It’s certainly not tea time already!)

⬤

It’s after me! look! right in front of you! what is it??

⬤

People never say hi to me, see
My shorter brother’s name is Finn
And my elder brother, who precedes me
I don’t like ’em though he’s my twin
What’s my name?

⬤

I’m not tall nor am I short;
A little wide but— uh… also thin?
I’m in front of you, but also behind you!

⬤

I met a strange creature in a far off land
Who always covered their face with their hands
Every so often they’d get up and yell
But just what they said, I never could tell
What are they?

⬤

Through air I am shaped, by hands and breath
Often present in celebration or after death
Like a tide I lap at the shores of your mind
But to truly see me, you must be blind

⬤

Rich people have lots of it
Everyone else wishes they had more of it
But if you in it right now, you’d die

⬤

Wingless it soars
Soundless it falls
Heavier than a mountain
Lighter than a rock
Bigger than a city
Smaller than a sock

⬤

Held up by a column, a modest home
Two windows, a door, and a dome
Within its attic a treasure is held
A portal to another world

⬤

Born from water, dry as stone
Place where all the mountains roam
Sing and whistle, howl and roar
What seemed to be, is no more
