Answer:
I am a small paradise surrounded by dryness and heat. What am I?
I can be long or short. I can be grown or bought. I can be painted or left bare. My tip can be round or square. (one word)
Born in the ocean and white as snow. When I fall back to water I disappear without a trace.
I am long and slim works in light. Has but one eye and an awful bite.
My first is high my second damp my whole a tie a writer's cramp.
I always have to work with something in my eye. What am I?
