Peacock Sighting


                       Prancing peacock
Taking in the sunshine of dawn, 
                       Prancing peacock
Calling its mate by its honk-squawk, 
Its plush plumage makes you look on, 
You gaze at it with breath indrawn, 
                       Prancing peacock.

DID THIS REALLY happen? Were you truly blessed with the presence of a real-life male peacock of such magnificent beauty one could study him happily for hours? If true, did he see you seeing him, was he concerned? I don't recall how they sound! Can you tell I am peacock-excited right now? I feel like a kid, inundating you with questions. My Granny gave me a peacock ring when I was twelve and I still wear it. Well, obviously I enjoyed your write and appreciated it much. CayCay
