Notes About The Poem

 

Peacock

ecstatic in rain
                              lustrous plumes spreading like fan ~
                                         dancer creative



Notes: The peacock is the national bird of India.
Only Indian peacocks have the famous flashy feather trains and vibrant blue and green plumage. Peacocks use their trains to attract mates – the bigger and prettier the train, the more likely a peacock is to attract a mate. The mating season coincides with the rainy season in India.
