Quetzal

Quaint multi coloured bird
Quilled feathers exotic 
Quiffed plumage quite unique
Quintessence of beauty
Queen like, monogamous 
Quavering mating call
Quixotic, soon extinct

I had never heard of quetzal, It is hard to write sentences with Q, You have done excellent work.

Me neither, had to look up the meaning of quetzal and read about it, a pretty long tailed bird, the national bird of Guatemala actually but may become extinct soon.

I absolutely like your Pleiades poem, US! It is truly enchanting, with the 'Q' charm shining beautifully throughout. The way you choose to present the exploration of imagery and interpretations is unique and captivating, adding a touch of sweetness to the whole poem.
