The Peacock's Dance

Soaked in rain
A peacock
danced and danced
to seduce
an ugly pea hen-
In hopeless vain.

Little did it know,
that the
king of its feathers,
the spindle of its sex appeal;
Was rotting,
between the pages
of my life science
notebook.

I was looking up information on pourquois for my Language Arts project and somehow stumbled across this, and I'm happy I did. :) It was a great poem, with delicate imagery and a comical twist at the end. Thanks for making my day. :D
