Absolutely love this haiku. The double meaning of “stars” is wonderful the way it crept up on me. I know I am old when I don’t recognize the celebrities on the cover of the magazines and this haiku captures that moment for me.
Thank you, Sari! That’s how I felt when I was an admin in a medical office…back in the days when they had magazines in the lobby.
