A few riddles on request...

They aren't very tough, but what the hell - try them:

1)I torture children an parents
Many people scream and wail in my presence
Parents drag their kids to me
I am supposed to create smiles,
but often there is only a frown
What am I?

2)I am a famous author
I am a famous poet
Credit for my work
It is not mine
Wouldn't ya know it
For all that is done
I get a lot a of credit
You all have heard my name,
But only some remember

3)My name is five letters long,
I bring pain and suffering
but also happiness and peace.
I can bring heaven or hell
What am I?

4)Without my kiss, the grass won't grow.
Without me there, no rivers flow.
Without my touch, your life is short,
The earth is dust, no ships, no port.

1.) SANTA CLAUS (I'm not sure about this)

3.) DEATH?

4.) WATER? (or rain)

Im working on the others :)

Dentist!! I should have got that one.

More Riddles:

1> You are trapped in a forest, you finally find a house, in the house are a candle; a stove; and a fireplace, you have one match, what do you light first?

2> Which is heavier: A hundred pounds of feathers, or a hundred pounds of gold?

3>If Elephants see me they run and hide, if people see me they kill me, If a snake sees me they eat me and become wide, what am I?

4> During the night I show myself in the sky, But when daylight comes, I get lost without being stolen, what am I?

Figure 'em out yet? (they are pretty easy!) :D
