I sound like a mistake, but I do not sound like silence. You might hear me in a clap of clouds.

In sport, the tool used before the run. In nature, the flight based on sound is done. Met at night, be wary, both could be scary Though neither intends to harm you when not held and alone.

I make eyes stronger, but I do not make your lenses longer. People often stew me me.

I both stand tall among the jazz stage and represent a pair of the same fish. What am I?

Down in Florida, I help grow islands of great girth Unique to my kind, a plant that gives live birth What am I?
