Folderol

Folderol is a noun that means something is nonsense or foolish. It also refers to attractive but useless trinkets or objects.  It was first used in the early 19th century to refer to a meaningless refrain in a song.  Here are a few examples: 

“Debbie dismissed the article in People magazine as useless folderol”.  

“My plan was foiled by all the late night folderol, which threw everything into turmoil.”  The Huffington Post: Michael Glitz: Who’s The King of Late Nite? Craig Ferguson

So they'd been married in a judge's chambers without any folderol.”  Fat Tuesday

In songs: 
“Do be do be do” and  “Fa La La La La La La La La"   Can you think of others?

Impish

The word Impish is an adjective which describes someone who is being mischievous, naughty or annoyingly playful and having the qualities or characteristics of an Imp.

So what is an Imp, you ask? An Imp is a mythological, unattractive creature similar to a fairy or a demon.  They were known best their wild and uncontrollable behavior and for playing jokes or pranks on others.

“Poetry is an impish attempt to paint the color of the wind”  Maxwell Bodenheim

Rainbow Kiss

by TJ Arizona Eagle

Blissful dreamer or romantic fool
Fairy behavior with impish rules

Queen of darkness yet source of light
Leading my way in the obscure night

My world is magic, a place so surreal
Candy red roses, yellow daffodils

Soft downy clouds, shadows pink and white
Lemon drop sun ever shining bright

Prince of darkness not a mere man
Make you tremble at the touch of my hand

Taste the rainbow the sweetness it brings
Fly to the moon on magical wings

When the day breaks, its just you and me
Leaving behind our mystical dreams

Obediently march in life's dull parade
Till once again we pull down nights shade

Fractal

Fractal (noun) is a complex repeating geometric pattern that has irregular shapes divided into parts.  A fractal has infinite detail, is self-similar and independent of scale.  Huh?  The mathematical concept of the word is not easy to define and is difficult to understand.  It may be easier to understand the word through illustrations of art and nature.

Examples of fractal in nature are snowflakes, certain plants, seashells, lightening and the peacock. Look for fractals today; they are unique and special and a treat to behold.
