Ostentation

With elegance the peacock
   Struts in show of vanity
   An admiration seeker
   Flaunting bold feathered attire
   Throws modesty to the wind.

Hi Jan, they're alright to look at, but not to keep at home. Would not want to be in your friend's shoes! hugs // paul

Hi Casarah! I am sure many of us have acted (slightly) as peacocks in our younger days:) But you don't have to be a peacock to look beautiful:) Hugs // paul
