Memories of Kirigami
Dreams made of flimsy pretty paper (Nonet)
Remember when, prettily folded
Lovely paper Kirigami
Filled our moments with sheer joy
Now the pieces scatter
Tear stained, wind-blown, sad...
Apart...left with
Sorrow's crushed
Papered
Dreams!

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

A fitting analogy to draw here. Something so incredibly beautiful and intricate that the fragility is forgotten...until it's too late. Had I also forgotten that I did kirigami in school? Until your nonet...yes, I had. Thank you for writing and sharing!
Nice one
This is outstanding, Novel!! Such delicate imagery! Great nonet!
Aw so sad, but really nicely written. “Papered dreams” is a combo that really stays with you
Good luck in the challenge, I think this one deserves a place!
"...papered dreams..." What a striking ending! I love this piece, so creative and emotionally effective.
I have seen such pieces before but never knew what it was called, thank you Novel
Poignant, bittersweet. I especially felt "Now the pieces scatter/Tear stained, wind-blown, sad.../Apart...left with/Sorrow's crushed/Papered/Dreams!" Lovely Nonet! ✍️🧡✍️
Beautiful, yet full of sadness! And I loved the art in the pic. It's something I would buy if I saw it in a store.
Oh, that is so sad and the pic is beautiful. I'd not heard of Kirigami. It's so pretty.
I had never heard of kirigami before and so I Googled it. I learnt somethings new from you today. Loved your Nonet!
I loved this concept, what a wonderfully written entry for the challenge :)
A moving tribute to fragile beauty, Novel!
