Poems about origami
When you see a beautiful butterfly,
Fluttering in the air so high,
You don't remember its history.
Its caterpillar days to you are a mystery.
It once crawled on the ground,
Not knowing where it was bound.
When it made its cocoon,
It knew not it would be flying soon.
It slowly emerged with gorgeous wings,
Very much glory did this cocoon bring.
You transform the paper you fold,
From a flat sheet to glory untold.
You can create a butterfly,
A teddy bear, or a big bowtie.
All of this from a simple page,
Most designs have changed with age.
You see paper as one little sheet,
And in a heartbeat,
You've refined this technique
To create a design so unique

Leaping high and far.

Origami
To David Brill's Horse

But this is a horse,


This thing of paper plain.
For these folds form
The sinews of a stallion,
A wild free living beast.
Thus can life shine through
The constraints of our art.
The Heart As Origami

Each one has its shape.


For love, two sleeping ducks.
For selfless courage, the war horse.
For fear of death, the daylily's one-day flower.
More and more creased each year, worn paper
thin,
   and still it longs for them all.
Not one of the lives of this world the heart does
not choose.
