Paper Fold (Trois-par-Huit)

by Sylvia   Nov 18, 2008


-------------------------Shapes, taper
-------------------Creases, folded paper
--------------Beautiful designs it does impart

----------Origami, ancient Japanese form of art
--Lovers passing their secret love notes from the heart
-------------Extra creases, lovers not consoled

------------------Secrets exposed, behold
-------------------------Paper Fold
