Book Tag

Roadchick tagged me in yesterday's comments to do the "Grab the book nearest you" meme...
and now I'm both busted and vindicated - It's an overdue library book - but see Librarian police, it's not lost! I have it right here (found it under the couch last night)...and I'm dropping it off this afternoon. Honest! (The really sad part is - even though it's overdue, I never finished reading it...I feel so embarrassed. I should have this thing memorized by now. And probably some poor poet is foaming at the mouth, waiting for it. I'm sorry, Poet/Library Reader! It's coming...)

1. Grab the book nearest you. (The Poetry Home Repair Kit)
2. Turn to page 123

3. Scroll down to the fifth line.

4. Post the next 3 lines on your blog.

Okaaay - it's the second verse of a poem, "Vestige," by Jonathon Greene:

"In the closet
a chalice of her last night's urine
now numinous relic."

Remember Roadchick, you asked! Anyone else want to play? Hmmm, Tammy, Diane, Jill (or did you already do this?) Daisy? Lisa Froggy?  Lisa Ocean Dreamer? Judie, how about you?  Miss R? I know - I tag all of the commenters on my previous post! And anyone else that wants to play along - the more the merrier!  I know some of you have already done it; but play along as it suits you, everyone.

I have to go now. I have to return something to the library. First, I need a disguise...

Hmm. The closest tome at hand had this:

through edge of motif and"

Robyn, I'll have to play catch up and read back through your posts sometime!

Ascender - It is a fun meme? Have you done it yet? Consider yourself tagged if you'd like to try it...and actually it was a rather sad poem, about a mother dying :(

Roadchick - It was a very interesting little meme - thanks I think!

Soozcat - I wonder, is this a book on appliques or on embroidery or crewel?? I'm intrigued.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!

I just read my comment AFTER posting it and that was supposed to be an exclamation point after "It was a fun little meme" - not a question mark...Sorry, about that Ascender. I really need to mind my p's and q's (and especially my punctuation!)

"First, I need a disguise..."

Simply wear a white sheet and disguise yourself as a humble ghost. (Beware of pac-men...)

Sorry already been tagged for this one, and done it somewhere on my blog. I hate taking well overdue library books back I always feel they treat me with distain and give me chilling looks, and I want to say well at least you got it back. You can take me off the black list now. Its my fault I checkout 20 at a time and don't go back till I have finsihed with them all.
