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..!! 31-7-2020 Disclaimer: Written in memory of my school classmates.
