The Glamour Girls of The Forties

She’s the Picture-Perfect Ideal [1947]

Notes:  Poet's United Thursday Think Tank #61 was all about the word, 'she.'  
I found this marvelous picture of a double-page spread from an old magazine on BibliOdyssey and decided to pair it together with two poems, using the form Hay[Na]Ku. 
Yeah, I'm having too much fun!

    I love the (obviously intentional) way that the two poems can also be read across the pages, as one.
