The cube

Orthogonal section, square

There are four sections cutting thru the cube/
which interest the origamian./
The hexahedron is the quadrate tube/
whose long broad high are just the same again.

Triangular section, equilateral triangle

As life is folded from the primal bog/
the square evolves the lotus, fish and frog./
The triangle makes a brilliant horse/
also a lion to chase it of course.

Hexagonal section, regular hexagon

The hexagon makes hexaflexagon/
its points are four legs and a head and tail./
But the rectangle of the long section/
is the true silver or A rectangle.

Long section, A4

It gives a world of human things to fold/
A4 all colours that is paper world.
