Untitled (a peacock dream)

Earlier PoemsPoetry

Their voices sounded throughout meadows green,
a majestic swirl, of pearly white and emerald teal.
I witness rays of shimmering moon pouring upon,
illuminating their glorious plume. Suddenly time,
comes to a complete standstill, I open my eyes, to
see rise of tangerine dawn.

    This was so lovely, especially paired with the painting. I loved the “tangerine dawn.”

    I like how the dawn took one’s attention from the scene.

    You make them into fantastical birds, your words matching the dreaminess of the picture!

    I can see why the image inspired this poem (I’m assuming it did) and a tangerine dawn… sounds like heaven to me.
