Writer


Writer breathes soul into characters
creates life from memory and word
orchestrates details, crafts world
until finally characters rise up real 
to make the story their own.  
This is written for Poets United Midweek Motif.  The theme is "Animation."

    Yes, we do. I like how you put it "breathes soul." And when the characters rise up wonders increase.

    Agree... I believe good books write themselves.

    Writing in hibernation, huh? A creative use of winter weather! May the characters continue to animate themselves. :)

    They have a way of being so. Perhaps it can be further explored!

    I think this is the perfect example of less is more - perhaps the character rising up is the writer herself...

      I like that you see this poem as an example of "less is more".

    So very true, Victoria! Writers DO breathe life into the characters who then BECOME the story! So nice to see you here at PU.

    Lots of love,

    It is a gift to breathe life into something that has no dimension. I love the way you use animation in this poem

    Writers definitely have a way of animating words and bringing them to life. Kind of like Dr. Frankenstein bringing a lifeless corpse to life. Great idea.

    Yes, it definitely seems that way - an animator's imagined characters suddenly seem as they have a life of their own! Reminds me of the Italian animated film "Allegro non Troppo" (see: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074121/)
