Origami Poems

[Myra]

I'm in love with this idea. Below is a link to a site that will allow you to print and then fold little books of poetry


http://www.origamipoems.com/


so far (I still have many to read) I like; Alex Stolis - A Cabal of Angels, Chris Warner - Strokes (Mostly) In Silence and Nancy Brown - Mishnock, RI (An Album)

here's a short video for how to fold

adding one more - Corey Melser - TO WRITING YOU

Walking on God's Good Side

O rarely will the thing you most
need rise to your hand.
O rarely will your love come to
you on your darkest day
with the precise counter-spell. O,
friend, why do you sit
and wait for the bell? Rise now
and open the drapes. The
man or woman outside has a
word for you. It's only a word to
start the conversation. But O,
friend, you too are made of earth.
Alike, you are made of breath, too.

A miniature, DIY book of poetry! Lovely concept – thanks for posting, Myra.

Isn't it a fun idea - I think this would be great for kids as well. (the template doesn't have to be used for poetry)
