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....
