Best Peacocks Poems

The raptor and the peacock hence,
Sit pensive on a rambling fence.
The first, inclined to be the host,
Jumped down to claim the nearest post.
The pea averse to snubs or quailing
Moves closer on the weathered railing.

Both immersed in trailing thoughts
Mused on nigh, and what was naught.
The Pea...

Last night I dreamt I heard my peacock companions 
Crying in the night, so lost and terrified they sounded. 
That is my life. I'm lost, and terrified. Nine years ago 
At the request of my uncle the prime minister 
I was sent away to America...

pendant green leaves weep
branches bend toward the ground-
peacocks prance and preen

peahens understand
bright blue-feathers fan out-
winds whisper secrets

grey frog croaks loudly 
willow canopy is home-
cottage red door opens...

Preening trains of iridescent blues and greens spread to full boast

Exquisite eye markings with blue, red and gold jewels foremost.

Adored by man, lots were made pets over thousands of years spread.

Corruption creeps need only take trains that are annually shed.

Only males are true Peacocks, females...

Porcelain peacocks strut in starlit shower,
drifting as clouds on an emerald lawn.
Black Narcissus spindles in oxblood flower
in teeming beds before the coming dawn
of floating white as night would then be gone,

its smoky quills of porcupines receding
to a memory as effervescing
rays of morning glow would begin,...

Peacocks Patterned Purpose

Oft they climb in greens and blues,
Ere fan their fringed spring timed hues,
Spread quills to reach their meant souls,
E'er sought plumes to win mates' views.

astounding layers of 
ignorance
spreads in the green
land of bliss
i am an orphan
opening the wings of
compassion
blue peacocks dance
in the hope of
apocalyptical rain...

I saw peacock feathers stuck in fences when I was a child.
The farm next to my grandparents raised peacocks.
They were the prettiest colors of purple and gold.
I wanted to run over there and grab some up.
My mother thought it would be rude, so we didn’t.

No china cups, satins, silks or linen.
Nothing extra, no gifts that have been given.
The walls in the same solid blah colors.
Something chosen for a dull head brother.

Give me my couches stacks high and low.
With comfy blankets and neon lights that glow.
Give me paints and stand...

Peacocks are poets
Whimsical wiry walking
Eyes ever talking
Feathers floating words
Colorful as ever heard...

E-Haw, E-Haw, the peacocks cry
With plumes much bluer than the sky
They strut around as proud as punch
Waiting for Melvin to bring their lunch!...

In a land that flows with milk and honey, 
the wind moans with foolish silly punny.

The mountains countless caves blaze with blithe light; 
trees of Ténéré quiver that tower in height.

The sound of trickling water, yield boasting
ground canvas color and peacocks strutting.

Dragons, Dragonflies, and dwarf...

Without love
We are nothing
And we have nothing
When we have love
We have everything
And that’s something.

Where there’s no love
Reign total chaos, crimes, division
Havoc, death, and destruction
With true love
Doves and peacocks fly above
The firmament is light and blue
Everything is beautiful and new
Without love
We have nothing
And we are nothing.

I
How big a place must Eden be
Its borders unknown 
Its politics not on display
Its laws kept by passing clouds 
Each from the lips of whispered scripture

The peacock's song can be heard 
Under the canopy of a transplanted forest
Of oak and birch...
