Haiku Friday: Magazines we loved

 


For many of us, at some point in our lives there was a magazine we waited for with eager anticipation-- then read from cover to cover once it had arrived. Let's haiku about those this week! Here, I will go first:

Brilliant, smart and bold
Oh how I miss the writing:
The Wittenberg Door.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun....


Comments:
Harper’s Bazaar
On my grandmother’s table
Such glamorous clothes!
 
What’s a Saluki?
An Azawakh? The answer
was found in Dog World!
 
Willing to pay for
The New Yorker subscription
Just to get Roz Chast
 
Before I could read
Would study Life Magazine
To understand "life."
 
Next, Time Magazine
summaries of the week's news
Inciteful columns

Then Mom got a job
U.S. News and World Report
Serious, sober
 
Teen to young adult,
I read National Lampoon!
Yearbook! Newspaper!

 
R. Emmet Tyrrell
American Spectator
was once relevant
 
Fred Barnes, Bill Kristol
Weekly Standard, serious
and great book reviews
 
Vignettes of romance
Clad every page lush roses
Tea on the terrace.
 
I savor poems—
Belgian chocolate, rare words,they
Whisper and shout to souls.
 
It lay on the floor
Of the bath,an invite—Chill!
Farm tips,temps,recipes.
 
Black/white photographs
Glamour girls,presidents,sports—
Life in America
 
Norman Rockwell paints
A cover.Mom reads stories,kid
Eyes grow enormous!
 
You’re fifteen and quiz—
Are you beautiful? You dream
Mod fashion—take plunge.
