Why is a Raven like a writers desk?

Why is a Raven like a writers desk?
if a Raven were ever thought of so
would it be the raven is like the desk 
or the desk like the raven
maybe even the knowledge even associated  
with the desk. but a Raven is a clever bird
maybe the raven is more like the wisdom 
from working at such a desk
but a writers desk is just a desk 
and the words written come from the person
not the tool. the tool only helps one such wise person
so the Raven is a wise knowledge seeking individual
and is associate's with the writers desk. or is it the other 
way around and the raven is being thought about and
written about or maybe the raven is used as a tool 
in some manor.  
Why is a Raven like a writers desk?
is there any answer at all 
there is no answer for the bird didn't call 
and the desk wasn't written on 
and the author didn't say
so maybe the Raven is not as important 
as the question itself 
that the desk and the raven are just that
Part of the story.

The Tulip


Tulips are my favorite flower
I never knew quite why
Till I thought of their creator 
and with realization almost cried.
Tulips are my favorite flower
not just any type
but the brightly colored yellow hues
Shining like the sun
Reminding me of gods
Great gift of life and his
Only begotten son.
Surrounded in soft greens
Of comfort and blankets of
Silken leaves, to open with
Tender care so we may peak
At a glimpse of its great beauty
And realize he’s always there.
The tulip has great strength
Protected by the sod
Till clipped, bowed and presented
To someone deserving of such abundant beauty
Only to wither away once cut.
The beauty of a Tulip cannot last
The Tulip had to die
So we may discover the treasure
Once offered deep inside.
The tulip will last forever
Always in my heart
For the tulip was created by our father
A gift of everlasting life
And that’s why
The Tulip is my favorite flower
For it all began with god
Who gave me this precious gift
To share with everyone.
