Origami Haiku

Post by malifold »

This topic is for composing and sharing haiku about origami.
For example:

Abhors cuts and glue
Will only fold square paper
He is a purist.

This is NOT a contest, mean no winner(unless this becomes really popular).

You'll probably ask
Why origami haiku?
They're both Japanese.

If this topic should be moved, then let me know.

once i've thought about illustrating haiku with origami. your challenge does just have a theoretical connection to the folding of paper, so i'd recommend to complete it with a folding challenge.
if you're going to visit my little flickr_gallery, please leave a comment - a critical one is welcome, too, if necessary: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57625237@N02/

I really feel
That this is kind of pointless
I'll do it anyway.

My favorite hobby
Square turns into anything
Hours spent content


And of course both were improv'd on the fly.

Folding just for you. :D

That one was half-sarcastic anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
Plus I was half-asleep when I did that.

Posting on a thread
That is about poetry

i've always wanted
to write a good haiku
but i cannot.

oh, by the way some of my friends at school were making haikus and they were asking stuff like this: how many syllables does turtle have? tuuuuuuurtles,7! in the end their haiku was like this
turtles are really cool
turtles
turtles hide in their shells.
