Answer:
I am the only word that looks the same when spelled upside down.
I have hands but cannot clap. What am I?
Part carbon part water I am poison to the fishes. Many falsely claim my name I am the pause that refreshes.
I am the black child of a white father a wingless bird flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me even though there is no cause for grief and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.
I am an activity involving pins flying in the air.
I fly to any foreign parts assisted by my spreading wings. My body holds an hundred hearts Nay I will tell you stranger things when I am not in haste I ride and then I mend my pace anon.
