Today's word is "rident" ... Laughing, smiling, cheerful. (Dictionary.com)
Shout
The children are running. Rident ...
From the fireworks, with screams.
Blasts of color fill the sky. Sparkling.
Exploding. Shooting out of sight.
(Or worming slowly on the ground,
Looking for all the world as if
They're smoking into life from
The underworld.) Their cries are
All for fun. As if the color and noise
Might scoop them up and carry them
Far from home never to return.
