Poem: "cutting and folding"

[ysabetwordsmith]

This poem came out of the April 6, 2010 Poetry Fishbowl.  It was inspired and sponsored by marina_bonomi.  It also features the same protagonist as in the March fishbowl poem " folded wings."  The two morals at the end are poetic paraphrases of Buddhist sayings.

watches her gentle rival
and shreds green paper

Thank you.

You're welcome!

I'm glad this one got sponsored, since several folks wanted to see more of the origami mage.

I hope you'll feel like writing more poems about her, I'll definitely sponsor them.

I'm addicted to origami, I figure it shows. ;-)
I was thinking of submitting her as a prompt for the next sketch fest, would you agree?

I'm willing to keep exploring a popular character. She is fun.

I like origami too, although my skill at it is minimal. My partner is considerably better.

Go for it! It would be fun to see an idea travel from one crowdfunded project to another.

Excellent! I'm glad someone else thought to bring her up again since I loved her so much last time! :)

Yay!

I think she's developing a following.

This so begs for illustration by someone who does serene art. ^_^ Stephanie Pui-Mun Law maybe!

Ooo...

Pretty art!

Feel free to show the poem to any artist you think might enjoy illustrating it.
