For fun, here are the haiku that were submitted. (I think "haiku" is the plural of "haiku," like "deer" and "fish." Any experts out there?)

Mel's haiku:

Is reading a sin?
I still pray that I do win
Even if it is.

Mama to a diva's haiku:

Something I can read
A perfect mental escape
Give away from Beth

Liz's haiku:

Digest memories
"Humor in Uniform" and
"All In A Day's Work"

beckiwithani's haiku:

My husband Donal
Rolls his eyes that I like it ...
I read anyway.

beckiwithani's extra credit haiku series:

Have you seen Mad Men?
On TV - A & E.
Mentions the Digest.

It's set in '60.
Readers Digest just published
That cigarettes kill.

With slogans and sheen:
"Be a man! Smoke Lucky Strikes!"
The ad-men prevail.

d's haiku:

All abridged books read
like life in these United States
Digest but don't taste

ElleBee's haiku:

Lots of magazines
But none bring memories like
Bathroom read RD

Sandi's haiku:

Reading is my real love.
Blogging is my fun hobby.
Help me find some love.

Bri's haiku:

I'll write this for you
If I can get cookies too
For referring me

Anna's haiku:

The digest I would like
Too cheap to buy my own one
My poem not good

Thanks to everyone who entered, and special thanks to all the haiku-writers--I got a kick out of reading them all!
