1). I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone,
but lack a good leg,
I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole,
What am I?


2). Many things can create one. It can be of any shape or size.
It is created for various reasons, and it can shrink or grow with time.
What is it?


3). Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it.


4). Part carbon, part water, I am poison to the fishes.
Many falsely claim my name, I am the pause that refreshes.
What am I?


5). Dies half its life,
lives the rest.
Dances without music,
breathes without breath.
What is it?

That's not a clue that's an answer :)

I thought the first was a snake but the first line misled me. I thought snakes hissed not sizzled.

Not sure about the rest.

Surely both 2 and 3 are shadows though.. not just one.
