An Innocent Childhood Memory

"Peacock feathers will grow"
If kept in a book ,nourished by pencil shavings;
I raised brow!
 
Probing to test~
Borrowed some from my friend's savings;
With zest.

Inclined
By false ravings--
Pined!!

"Peacock feathers will grow"
Borrowed some from my friend's savings;
Pined..!!
