Parading Plumage

Pretty peacocks parade puffy plumage,
painted peach, pink, purple...
Patterns preview picturesque poses,
pleasing peahens' passion.
Peacocks' plumage presents protection,
potential predators pass promptly.

Who would have believed that a poet could conceive and exclusively P-dominated 5-line Alliterative Verse? Theresa Lynn Beyerl has done exactly while meaning to state that Appearance matters too. I too give credence to notion of Immunity from harm wrought by colorful appearance.
