The King by June Sargent
Artwork by eileen0204 at FanArtReview.com

Strutting his stuff in royal splendor,
peacock's a contender
as peahens willingly surrender
to his feathered fender.
He's the king!

Iridescent eyes can mesmerize
and even hypnotize.
Obviously, when you analyze,
tail wins due to sheer size.
He's the king!

Favorite pet of Indian queens,
turquoise feathers he preens
before dining on grasshoppers, greens
and even some sardines.
He's the king!

Beauty he loves to flaunt and display,
but don't get in his way.
When peacock keeps king cobra at bay,
snake will lose in the fray.
He's the king!
