Another:

1. My life can be measured in hours, I serve by being devoured. Thin, I am quick Fat, I am slow Wind is my foe.

A Storm?

A storm is made of wind, creates wind and is served by wind. Wind is not the foe of a storm.

We are very little creatures; all of us have different features.
One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jet.
Another you may see in tin, and a fourth is boxed within.
If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. What are we?
