Beware, dear friends of verse,
magazines, publications,
frequently only accept
unpublished works.

Choose well
the debut 
of your best....

I follow someone through the magazines
   I'm higher than in love I'm a fanzine
   tie her to me on TV
   sans date a girl just vision
   I love a drama i don't miss a scene...

Mathematics has been shortened to math.
Magazines are now Zines.
In fifty more years will math be ma?
Will Zines be Zi?
How will we pronounce Zi?
With our without a long I sound?...

Everywhere I look I see words.
In Magazines
In newspapers
On Billboards
Words are in books
Words are in grocery stores
Words are in malls and even parks 
Words surround me
Day in and day out...

Long ago, once we were teens,
We all read "Mad" magazines,
Now we read of Peter Fonda passing,
Down the tarmac ever blasting,
Always in a "Sleazy Rider" cartoon,
Forever young, a classic lampoon!...

Women Magazines

'you cant be too rich
and you be too thin'
the glossies spout out
'your efforts will win'

but forgot to tell all
there's only one snag
it's full of cake adverts
and £5 a mag !!...

In the corner,
there's a young girl
convinced by movies and magazines,
that she is far from pretty
In another corner,
a lonely boy
One that notices her stunning beauty,
the kind that the stupid masses fail to see...

Designer shoe ads
Magazine ridiculous
Overpriced items
Movie stars can afford them
Regular people cannot

Exorbitant price
Two thousand dollar blouses
Dresses? Do not ask
Money I will never have
Magazine ridiculous...

Day A Week Devoted

My mind had been completely exploded
Library with books was found to be loaded;
Some readers in their teens
Thumbing through magazines;
Read books a day a week has been devoted. 

Jim Horn

Library should be listed as a category....

Get ready for battle

Silent but deadly
Throw your muscle!

Guns of apostrophe. 
Stealth for life....

As I clean my closet,
I find:
3 homework assignments
10 rubberbands
5 dirty socks (were is the sixth)
8 unhung shirts
6 pairs of pants
9 magazines
1 pair of glasses
3 unpaid tickets(jail time there)
1 broken camera
and the reason it's all still in the closet...

She sleeps like a bear
in her deeply sonorous dreams.

She is not dainty,
she’s too sturdily anchored
into an earthy nature.
Her name Cynthia.

When Cynthia sleeps,
she plays with the small skulls
of squirrels, and mice,
while avidly reading
her teen magazines....

On weekend nights he drank alone
Turning on the phonograph
and dancing with his shadow
House ablaze with light and music
Tables strewn with books and magazines.
Settling into his desk on Monday
He had dark circles under his eyes
And a contentment difficult to understand....

One of the first magazines for females was Black Cat Magazine
Probably put out by Wiccans from Salem
No wait
Boston press
Maybe it was still from Salem women
I see the cover and I smile
Black cats have had such a long history
As women’s familiars
Beginning in Ancient Egypt with Isis...

Computer noise and tons of toys
And tattered posters hanging low.
Some week-old snacks and laundry stacks
And cluttered closet overflow.

With sneakers, jeans, and magazines
In mountains 'cross the crowded floor.
A bed that's mussed and piles of dust.
They're all behind my bedroom door....

MY   HAPPY   IS   LIFE




my young is brain
but my white is hair
and my old is legs
but my bright is spirit
and my happy is life

To resist the op(press)ion 
of the two (dement)sional flatland world of glossy magazines,
I have (ob)seen women

Mutilate their forearms with deep(er) strokes of a razor
So that they may prove with their b(lo)ody
To themselves and their (conf)users
That their image (has depth)

Has depth (their image

Has depth)...

WILDFLOWERS ON A BREEZY DAY


A tenderness of blue velvet
As far as the eye could caress,
A shyness of pink hiding  
In wind waves to the hilltop.

The chocolate bars are dozing 
on their shelves, 
the beers and sodas snoring 
in the fridge. 
The magazines, too, have snuggled up 
under their covers for the night. 

I tiptoe down the drowsy aisle 
and back out the door,
not wanting to disturb the cashier
sitting sleepless behind the counter, 
catching up on dreams....

We flip through one hundred and eighteen glossy pages of magazine people.
None we know.
Wait!  Was that Dean Martin?
A throwback to the 60’s.
False alarm.  
One more page of people we do not know.
Why do we take these magazines?  We ask each other.
We do not KNOW any of these people.  
Maybe this is the best reason of all....

The seer of all your weight.
Not in mirrors or magazines
but the truth that everything won’t be ok.
You don’t own forgiveness or tomorrow.
Shame grows in the eye of your peers
and everyone else being lord, 
nobleman, winter or crow
has eyes and confines you to your land
that will never again bear fruit
until the soul is again ready....

AFTER THE RAIN

The soil was smothered 
In a friendship of warm raindrops
And  there was a smell,
A darkness of fertility,
A boldness of black strength.
