Exceptional A free verse Hotoke by Katiemae1977 Free Verse Poem contest entry

Black trees like silhouette cut outs over dirt white  winter sky   And me blowing breath of wind Folding clouds into a face or a bear   Or a sacred bird with wings bowed in awe of my fine artistry    I can crease and tear them to roll across my origami sky   Embellishing the heavens with playful pandas   or dragons   breathing cloud fire     Recognized Author Notes Hotoke most commonly means a dead person. Someone's soul. Figuratively speaking it means someone near and dear to one's heart Yes, I got the phrase origami sky from this poem which I wrote in college in 1982. I just recently discovered it amongst some old papers.
