Riddles in the Dark of Exilian

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Poems are hard
Beer

... beer?

[comrade_general]

We have a weiner! Winner.

[Jubal]

OK, here's a moderately tricky one from me:

There's two cat's feet that end their tread,
And if things start again, I'm dead
Two columns tell my life and death,
I lived so you could catch your breath.
But things must end, then start, because,
If I don't die, I never was –
I speak no word, take up no room,
What name should stand upon my tomb?

Pause

[Jubal]

Very good! Most people I showed that one to were stumped.

[comrade_general]

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Poems are hard
Beer

I actually saw this on the billboard for a pub.

My turn;

What do I have in my pocket?

[Jubal]

At least one nitrogen atom. Statistically pretty much a certainty.

[comrade_general]

Wrong. Now we gets to eat it whole.

[Jubal]

Ah, rats.

[comrade_general]

Rats is correct though.

[Glaurung]

Bump.

I don't want to speculate on the contents of CG's pockets, but it appears to have been answered correctly, and so I think Jubal gets to pose a new riddle.

[Jubal]

Sorry, I've been very slow on this...

Murad's headgear, necks of swans,
Bottles from around the world,
Make them decorations, songs,
Feast when summer's leaves are furled,
Say it slow, a deity,
Is what these are, then, don't you see?

[Glaurung]

Not to worry: you've had plenty of other things to do.

I'm looking forward to the answer to this one, since there's a stack of allusions, most of which I can't work out yet. About all I've come up with is...

Spoiler

Feast when summer's leaves are furled,
The time when summer's leaves are furled is spring, and a feast then is Easter. So a deity might be Eostre, the supposed Germanic deity of spring. But I can't see how this fits the first three lines at all.

[Jubal]

Hint/response to guess:

Spoiler

Wrong track! I'd argue summer's leaves could count as furled at either end of the season, reasonably...
