Origami Monogatari

Socially speaking , we are but a blank space out of place
In speech, I speak in soliloquies of solitude under an umbrella about to be unfold 
I could be a paper jet or something else like no one else, a fold untold 
They choose the shapes we seize to be by their paper clipped claps 
With their paper personalities on a parade of pettiness
peekaboo can you see this peak of taboo 
Until crimson peak when will shall wallow 
on willows of worry albeit adieu to your crimson curfew

He folded paper into paper planes and flew them into space 
He was just four and he toured the milky way in an hour 
He turns paper into palaces and splice them into his paper face 
Such was the little boys prowess in his peculiar power

Bemused by the by and by of how butterflies flutter and fly 
She folded her self a "paperfly" that flutters and fly 
She folded it with wings of wisdom so it with hover and fly
She folded it with flattering feelings of nigh 
For her anatomical anomaly ,a thing  which could be something

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

Well, I think origami is hard to make but I like the end product. Origami planes flying; how fascinating!

Welcome to PoetrySoup Muhammed. This is a whimsical poem, and yet, deeply profound at the same time. "they choose the shapes we seize," is perfect! The middle stanza was so beautiful, I could picture this little boy. Well done my friend.
