Short Peahens Poems

in regal blue
amid blooming eyes
plumed iridescence
peahens gather
in a harem

train rattling
in search of a mate
colored quills
she spreads her feathers 
choice made

peacock struts among ruffled gold marigolds
preening his gorgeous aqua feathers tinged with cobalt
the plain brown peahens flutter about, hoping to catch his attention
the farmer smiles...

Yes  peahens they were if you asked me
Parading around looking for men
Husband seekers actually
Ruffled frilly dresses
Seeking out the rich
Georgia’s finest
Southern Belles
Prissy

Pretty peacocks parade puffy plumage,
painted peach, pink, purple...
Patterns preview picturesque poses,
pleasing peahens' passion.
Peacocks' plumage presents protection,
potential predators pass promptly....

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...

He was the top of the mark.
Puffed up and proud.
Nothing was as beautiful.

We all heard her giggling.
She is such a ho....

Death valley lies in heart
Lifeless rivers claims urbanity, everywhere 
Tired clouds, touch less, in the far 
A sky touchy way meets another, 
Peahens' beds sound shocked written slogan!

Shakuny's eyes make my life a strange goal  
I, omnipresent god of shadow go nowhere
Think my shadowy face dearest one....

The day had started to die 
At the sea, I thought no one to see 
Very embarrassed, I felt in my eye

Dark glasses I wore to slide my ashamed paces
While I goggled at them for hours
Why I made no tours, they questioned 

Unto me I said, no one sees me
But I detected the ladies concerned
Proud like peahens, they moved away

Percy the pink male peacock was the talk of the town.
The female peahens surrounded him in their golden brown.

He simply did not have enough energy to take on one more sweet lady....
