Today's word is "quixotic" ... kwik-SOT-ik ... extravagantly chivalrous or romantic; visionary, impractical or impracticable. (sometimes initial capital letter) resembling or befitting Don Quixote. impulsive and often rashly unpredictable. (Dictionary.com) For Ethan, Noah, Jeremy, and Avery.
Forth
Dark settles in and burning fires,
Illuminate faces with circled light,
While over trees and electric wires,
Pyrotechnics put frail birds to flight.
Meanwhile children run pell-mell,
With glow stick swords pointed to the sky,
As they quixotically, dragons fell,
And parents simply watch and sigh.
How can not the bursting orbs,
That explode all the seams of night,
The tiny Knights' energies not absorb,
Or the cries of their fancied fight?
