Haiku Friday: Great Magazines
At Harvard last week, I used issues of Lucky and Glamour as part of my talk. (It's kind of a long story). I found myself flipping through them on the way home and... what a bunch of dreck! It made me go buy some better magazines.
There are some wonderful periodicals out there right now-- I think the challenges to journalism have inspired some new creative forces. I even bought a subscription to Garden and Gun, and greatly enjoy it.
Let's haiku about magazines: The good, the bad, the old (Highlights for Children?) and the new. I will go first:
Willome, both Dardens,
Writing about what matters.
I miss the Wacoan!
It's true. I miss holding it in my hand and seeing all the content. Ok, now you guys write-- follow the simple 5/7/5 recipe for syllables, and have some fun! (I will admit some excitement at getting to find out, perhaps, what magazines the Spanish Medievalist reads).
Comments:
THE NEW YORKER
Ah,the guilt looms large
Your cartoons,your poems like
White-trunked birches grasp.
Noon-day sun essays
Sit unread and pile up like
Excuses.I must read you.
But--what if your brother
Comes next week and insists!!Shame!
I love and loathe you.

Every month, Cosmo...
How to satisfy your man?
I have one word... food....
old wives tale: the way to a man's heart is through his stomach...
