Pretty as a Peacock:

Posed in Memory

By Alexis WellmakerPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Pretty as a peacock posed in memory

Recalling my radiance ... stoic and shimmery?

Enough of your overgrown ego

Tsk, tsk ... Here we go -

Try not to set that beautiful crown so high.

You know I'm keeping my eyes on the sky

As you should.

Showstoppers can't help who we are

And now you've taken the conceit too far!

Please don't forget how you were captivated

Excuse me, you stepped in with charm activated.

Allowing you (and others) a thorough glimpse of personality

Confidence adorned with stylish mentality

Oh, so you were paying attention?

Couldn't resist your bold exhibition

Keeping pace with every move I make.
