As the music reached its coda, almost the end of its movement, the origami dragon too, moved with such shimmy.
Spangling delicately sewn along its scales sparkled in abstract light. It’s creator had shelved the others leaving them
to ferment in their silent paper cacophony of aches and creased complaints as she continued to put on an exquisite,
ethereal show to the delight of her enchanted audience.

After I had written this, I was amazed to find a picture of an actual origami dragon being used in a dance. It was meant to be 🙂

Wow, this is terrific. “Creased complaints” — loved that image! The poem is as enchanting as the dance.
Yes. It was meant to be. The origami dragon is breathtaking.
Good use of the wordle words and great synchronicity with the image. A good day for you altogether,

Wow – I agree, it was meant to be to find that picture as well as have these words to “wordle” … perfect … nicely done
Very cool post. I really like the scene you drew here, and those images are very cool. Thanks
Perfect. Thank you for sharing your words — and finding a picture to boot!
I certainly was meant to be, Bren. Beautiful poem.

The origami dragon picture is perfect, and as you say, meant to be! I love the way you’ve used the wordle words. They flow so beautifully!
What an original concept – an origami dragon. And then to find a picture! I, too, love the mental image of the shimmying.
That would take some skill to make that, just as you have with your verse.
And beautifully so. Just the thought of the origami dragon is almost too exqusit to hold!
Wow- impressive that you were able to use the words with such brevity. The origami dragon is amazing.
Clever! As you say: meant to be 🙂
Beautiful wordling, Bren. I love picturing the origami dragon…and yes indeed, I can see how they would move with ‘shimmy’ just as you described!
