Rebellious.
Though authors create characters.
They’re not always obedient.
Refuse to do what we prefer
and show us they are discontent.
Somehow or other they decide.
They will control their destinies
and set their authors will aside.
Quite often with surprising ease
The author’s forced to recognise
The children of his mind can grow.
Successful authors realise
That they do not always know.
Just what their characters can do
Denying our authority
As if they were entitled to
Improve upon our fantasy.
The characters that we create
Take on an independent role
And by their actions demonstrate
We are no longer in control.
They choose to go their own sweet way.
At least I find it to be so.
I must believe it come what may
It seems they know more than I know.
