The Peacock

I belong to a group called Freeing your Wings on ning that has a monthly scavenger hunt, with words that you must use in some way -- either poetry, prose, art, song, etc.  The words this month were scarlet, peacock, weeping, burden, ecstasy.  Usually I interpret the challenge with art, but these words clearly called for prose - so I did both.

Oh Teri,
I love everything about this page!
What an absolutely gorgeous peacock. I love the way you simplified/stylised the tail yet it looks so vivid & striking. Beautiful background & choice of colour behind the peacock. The poem is amazing...
Truly inspired :)

Teri, it is just exquisite. The last part is so heartbreaking. And your peacock is perfect for the page. You are immensely talented, my friend!
