The Fairest Fowl

Epitome of ostentatious pride, the peacock, glorious in regal stride parades his flowing train of turquoise green. His crowning glory bursts in bold array, a mesmerising optical display; the greatest pageantry there's ever been. And then begins a courtship of romance as eyes entice in hypnotising dance a passing peahen dazzled by the scene. His stunning beauty shimmers in the sun A radiant flamboyance has begun, Ablaze with lustrous iridescent sheen. 15.10.19 Writing Challenge, October 2019 - Bird - Poetry Contest sponsored by Dear Heart- Wiishkobe Ode

Wendy, I am such a sucker for bright and bold colorful displays, so the peacock has long been my favorite bird. I love the words you use to describe this fairest of the fowl: ostentatious, mesmerising, pageantry, hypnotising, flamboyance, iridescent. A fitting panoply of glorious words for our glorious bird set to your flawless rhythm, rhyme, and flow. A fave, congrats on your win ~ John (funny, the captcha is PHN, which of course I read as peahen!)
