A poem I am set to write taken from a book I choose
Go to chapter five, paragraph five, five lines down and five words in…Really? Is this something I can use?
Well here goes!
The book is written by Harriet Lane
The Title ‘Her’ the fifth paragraph is
‘I rub moisturiser into my face’
Do I run with this or pretend I’ve never seen this book?
Look for another- a more congenial 555?
Let’s see? another paragraph in another book,
That reminds me of a Musical I‘ve seen live
‘Another suitcase in another hall’
Get a grip! look for your 555 in another book
Which one, what, where?
Yes we know ‘Sound of Music’
No silly it’s “Maria – from Romeo and Juliet –
Almost but with singing –
Ah! it’s ‘West Side Story’ ‘Maria’
Yes! Yes! take a chair and reach
Up to the top shelf
Here is ‘On the Beach’
Or
‘War and Peace’ – No! not this
There is too much talk of war
And peace is a risquè word
In Bernard Manning’s repertoire
Oh I give up I am off to bed … Forget the chase
I wash, clean my teeth, brush my hair
And before I turn in
‘I rub moisturiser into my face’ !

So clever! Love it! Choosing the book is so often the most difficult bit of this task!
Love the way this makes light hearted fun of the challenge!
I love this too Fiona, I’ve done this exercise twice before and fully enjoyed it but not before settling on the 2nd or 3rd book from the shelf. I find it a perfect way to begin a story. Having said that I haven’t done the homework this time, I’m still catching up with ‘Light’ and haven’t finished that yet!
