“Why is a raven like a writing desk? They are both so full of poetry, you see. Darkness and whimsy, nightmares and song.”
― Marissa Meyer, Heartless

“Why is a raven like a writing desk? Because they both have quills dipped in ink.”
― Marissa Meyer, Heartless

“Why is a raven like a writing desk? You see, they can each produce a few notes. Though admittedly, the notes tend to be very flat.”

“Why is a raven like a writing desk?" she prompted.
"I don't know, why?" he asked gamely.
"No- you asked me that, last time. I never figured out the answer myself. But I asked everyone when I woke up- er, came back to Angleland, and even read a great many books on puzzles and riddles to try and solve it. So now I have several answers. So tell me which one is right!"
She began counting on her fingers.
"One: because they both have quills dipped in ink."
Her audience just looked at her gravely.
Alice hurried on to the next.
"Two: the American author, Mr. Edgar Allan Poe, wrote on both."
The Dodo and the Gryphon looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.
"And three- my friend Charles came up with this- because each can produce a few notes, tho' they are very flat!”

“Flame

You burn
like a candle
or a hurricane lamp,
your eyes,
shut like a window at dusk.

Your hair, orange ropes.

The flames from your aura
reveal a rapture of release,
I see in the cleft of your teeth.”
― Valentine Okolo, I Will Be Silent
