Sixteezkid,

This is a very clever haiku. I love the idea of the "bedroom eyes" which I think is very original in
describing the tail of the peacock. That high pitched cry
sent my uncle, brother, and I running through an orange grove on night, because it sounded like a woman screaming "Rape." Because it was mating season, perhaps that was what the scream really was:)

Fondly, Lyle

Feathered bedroom eyes! Loved that line friend, especially with the accompanying artwork, made me smile, I'm catching up because I've been away for three days so you'll have to excuse me for being so far behind, read you soon!

Okay, you win, I give up. LOL This was simply adorable (And I seldom, if ever, use that word). This is very romantic and classy rolled into one, cheers, bravo, kudos to you, my writer friend. Don
P.S. Please don't complain about the six, you deserve it.

    Awwwww...."adorable"..... didn't you ever try to resist going all soft like a girlie-girl on this one! HA!!!

    So glad this touched your romantic side! I've never had a more lovely review on a haiku. I'm understanding more and more how full a haiku can be with those few words.

    Thank you, Don, for all your wonderful compliments and your highest review. It has encouraged me even more. And I mean that!!

    Warmest regards,
    Sue

How did I miss this one? Very nice haiku, great color and artwork choices. "August" is an excellent descriptor, and thanks for the notes about the behavior of peacocks.

Impressive is a good word for the peacock and his mating call will wake the neighbors. You have written a good contest entry and I wish you well.

Hullo Sixteezkid ....

I compliment you on the choice and use of the word
'august' which is so cleverly placed that either of its meanings can apply.
As this is a Contest entry, I wish you well.
With love from .... Nanette Mary.

The proud peacock strutting around flashing his beautiful feathers and he tries to entice a mate. Perfect picture for your poem and keeps to the Haiku format. Nicely done.

I never thought of the peacock as having feathered bedroom eyes, but now that you mentioned it, it does. I love poems about that proud majestic peacock, and I like your intake on that beatiful bird. I found your author notes interesting.

    MercyWrites, It's amazing what nature will do in order to procreate and keep the species going. The big fan sure would be enticing to the female! Thanks for your very kind review. Glad you enjoyed this piece. With regards, Sue

    In the homocide detective world, you had to put a lot of clues together. Don't you find it frustrating that once in awhile you come across a haiku that makes you have to put your badge on again? LOL!!! Glad this one didn't. Thanks much for the review, Reg. :-) Sue

Now this one is very pretty. I thought it expressive, vivid, and it works both on the literal and metaphorical levels. Nice one. Good luck in the voting booth.
