All three were correct.

1. He stands beside the road in a
Purple cap and tattered green cloak
Those who touch him, curse him.

2. All around the house,
With his Lady he dances.
Yet he always works,
And never romances.

3. All across the countryside,
To front doors he travels.
But you never invite him in.

That's right.

1. You seek it out
When your hunger's ripe
It sits on four legs
And smokes a pipe.

2. Has feathers
But can't fly
Rests on legs
But can't walk.

3. When they are caught,
They are thrown away.
When they escape,
You itch all day.

Well I'll keep it up but your answers are wrong.  I gave some clues in the quoted comment.

Maybe it's time to retire this thread for now.  After all, you all seem to have backed into your shells and this just doesn't chime with the fun anymore.

Yeah, we probably already did have #3 before but you got that one.  The other one is wrong though.

"Thought" is correct.

1. Bloodless and boneless
It travels about.
Yet it never leaves home.

2. You hear it speak,
For it has a hard tongue.
But it cannot breathe,
For it has not a lung.

3. Has a tongue,
But never talks.
Has no legs,
But sometimes walks.

I didn't think that this one would be so hard.  Let your mind wander and come up with the answer.

It is part of the riddle itself.  However, you could use something else like "The right one will solve this riddle."

No it's not either of those but your "I was thinking" was right.

#2 is wrong though.

"The future" is correct.  And really I was just joking, but it's good to know these are really attempted.  Still waiting for 2 and 3.

What'd you do look them up?

1. It never was before.
It is not now.
Fools wait for it forever.

2. What ranges far an
Cannot be confined,
Yet stays in one spot?
The correct one will
Open this chest.

3. Held firmly in the hands,
Like a sword it cuts deep.
Bloodless strokes, all,
Then forward we leap.

Correct.

1. What is this thing
With fingers long.
That grips our deadly
Swords so strong?

2. Six legs, two heads,
Two hands, one long nose.
Yet he uses only four legs
Wherever he goes.

3. Black when bought.
Red when used.
Gray when thrown away.

Don't be a baby there is an answer to the third question.  Don't cork it just yet.

No, it's not an item of clothing.

Both "Breath" and "Today" are correct.  Still waiting for the third one.

Nope "Snowflake" is wrong.

Correct!

1. You can see it in winter,
Never in summer
Even though it is as light
As a feather, the mightiest
Man in the north can hold it
For long.

2. Every creature in the world
Has seen it.
But to their dying day
they'll never see
The same one again.

3. Kingdom soldiers will
Look like it,
When the headsman
Gives them a lop.
For then, like it, they'll
Have a neck
But not a head on top.

I'm worried that this is going to end up like the last one.  However, 2 and 3 are correct.  To help things along a bit,

Spoiler

The first one is a device that was used both in the middle ages and today.

No helicopter is wrong.  It's not quite so modern.

Okay people obviously lost interest with the old riddles.  The answer to the number 1 riddle I put up was:

Colts

1. Two legs it has,
And this will confound
Only at res,
Do they touch the ground.

2. She has tasteful friend
And tasteless enemies
Tears are often shed on her behalf
Yes never has she broken a heart.

3. In all the world, none can compare,
To this tiny weaver his deadly cloth
So silky and fair.
