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
