Had I not
run out of books,
I would have not
come out.

Likin' it!
Original!
And coffee. Don't forget coffee.
So there you have it ... now leave me the hell alone!!! Love this.
Ditto to all the above! Love it!
There is something about this picture that makes me squirm--but not the poem. That's just really good.
if you would have had a computer you could have ordered them delivered...smiles...
And how were you received in your local book store ?, MZ
Yes! I understand, and Bravo!
I cracked up at your poem! I felt the exact sentiment just just today as I trudged to the library. But I still am not laughing at the picture.
LOVE this!

That is one of the most clever things I've read in some time. It's quite easy to hide behind books (and words ... or covers). This could mean quite a few things, actually. I might never leave the house if I didn't need to go to the library and the grocery store. Or I might never come out of my "shell" if I had other more interesting things with which to occupy my time. There are all sorts of meanings for "come out."
great response here. very fun caption.

Clever twist!
A Wonderful Mama Zen response.
We look forward to little diversions. True enough MZ!

Run out of books? But she always had her Kindle. :-)
Love your response MZ ~
Absolutely. Can't NOT have books.
*giggle*
Verbosity is never your undoing, mz.
Nailed it!
And chocalate!
Can't read without chocolate

I feel this way, often. Never enough books.
A book and a cozy chair. What more does one need? Loved this!
Bloody marvellous!
I will never run out of books. I only hope I live long enough to read all the ones I want to read!
The love of chapters carries us on! Nicely penned!
That's why I have a kindle. Love this.
Oh. I thought I saw you falling out. :-)
A delivery made in a brown paper package to hide the recipient's embarrassment?
Running out of books...oh yes, that I understand completely.

You know, that sounds a lot like me. I wouldn't talk to anyone when I was younger, just read my books.
Quite spooky combined with the photo!
Second poem I've read to this image, haunting as it is. The "never run out of books," yes, I see that. "Come out" is so loaded with different interpretations... but I'm thinkin' it's the library... with some clothes on!! Sparse, effective poem, lovely. Peace, Amy

How revealing!
I love your poem...
come out, come out, where ever you are!
Now this is a winner! Furthest thing from my mind. Love it!
