The Knight’s Fight

The sun’s light

Was very bright

When the fight

Began between the White Knight

And the kite.

The height of the kite’s flight

Put the knight in a plight.

The kite’s rope did bite tight

When the Knight

Pulled with all his might

Rite into the night.

It was a right frightful sight!

The archetypal Knight was strong, brave, and a good fighter. Today’s Knight is struggling to live up to the medieval image that enraptures the damsel today. The damsel herself has to live down the woe-is-me and help-me image that so many expect from her. The key is though, to find a balance between knight and damsel. In youth, the unicorn is for girls, and the dragon is for boys. In truth, they should be universal and be accepted by the people as an imaginative outlet for young minds. I think we, as grown ups, need to see people for who they are, and not just stereotype them into what appears to be right. Give kids the chance to explore their personalities and the wonderment that is life. Maybe life is more than just the mundane, 9-5 atmosphere, and maybe a little dreaming is good for us. Be proud that you found you. So many people miss out on dreams because of stereotypes. Break one today!
