I fold,
I flip,
I bend
my brain.
Slowly,
I hatch
a paper
crane.
I wrote this yesterday in response to Laura Salas’ 15-words-or-less poetry prompt. She posted a photo of a beautiful light in the shape of a star. There was no bird, paper, or folding, though the light looked a bit like it could have been folded. That’s what set my mind going where it found an origami crane. Thanks Laura for inspiring us each week.
I’m still working on a title. I don’t want to give anything away… Ideas?
