Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Origami Crane Garland

Moments of meditative serenity
Crimping pleating floral white hybrid washi

Shaping and triangulating dainty folds
Stringing vertex wings of freedom symmetry

Garland of classic crane origami
Wishing long happy peaceful life

Winged Warrior May 25, 2019 at 8:12 AM Congrats!!! on your Honorable Mention my friend, Line...^WW^ Line Gauthier May 25, 2019 at 10:03 AM Thanks, WW. Much appreciated.

Julia Ward May 25, 2019 at 5:26 AM I think it would work better if you put "this daughter's wedding", for the introduction of "her" creates a distraction. I get put off the subject matter and wonder who the mother is. Julia Ward May 26, 2019 at 2:00 AM Yes, I know that - the "her" *as a word* creates the distraction from the rest of the poem, though. Line Gauthier May 25, 2019 at 10:16 AM Thanks for your most inspiring contest, Julia. The mother in my poem is the one who has been patiently doing the origami for her daughter's wedding. I much appreciate the placement.

Caren Krutsinger April 28, 2019 at 8:16 AM This is darling; I have attempted origami, and I am horrible at it; tromping through throwing away pages and pages. Yes, I do believe you have mastered that art in addition to poetry and painting, friend. Line Gauthier April 28, 2019 at 6:37 PM LOL thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Caren.
