Here's one:
I have streets but no pavement.
I have cities but no buildings.

Yep it was the sea.  Can't say I know the Rhyme of the ancient mariner that well to get all the references either. I think it is just called the ancient mariner as a clue to it being the sea.

Hmm as for this one. I think it might be a wordy one. - something to do with letters in one and not the others. Just got up so brain is not functioning enough to work it out as yet.
Oh and please folks don't go looking them up on google. It spoils the fun.

Here's another ...
