Standing on / their scripted stage
The characters / await the call:
To action or adventure / romance or robots,
They care not / nor question the command.
They are as instruments / imagination-fired,
Ink-wrought in idle times / ideas made flesh.
Then the siren sounds / the summons goes out:
A task! A tale! / A time to venture forth
On paper pages / they play their parts
Turning towards / their creator's themes and tunes.
Until the writing's through / the wars and battles won
And they slip back into silence / to sleep until
Their tale is told again.
(Alliterative verse FTW?)
