Of Ravens & Writing Desks
By carlosjackal
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
Singular nouns
with multiple
meanings.
A bird.
A black plane.
Somebody's
given name.
An old battered book
I lean on as I record
all my musings.
The unlocking of creativity
looking at the everyday
and finding
the extraordinary.
The hope and damned
determination
to put down and mould
ideas
until they take
flight.
Writing that becomes
a living, breathing
life force belonging
to everyone
who reads it.
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
Language
and
imagination.

Ravens are also inherently dark, as writing can be as well. As they say in "Game Of Thrones", dark wings dark words. I love how mysterious and beautiful you depicted the Raven in this poem. Bravo! Queen Reb:).

Not what I expected, that's a good delivery. People need hope. Everything is so dark now. To have light gives everyone something to focus on. We all need that. You gave me hope.
