Excellent Sometimes ladies have a mind of their own The Bird Garden by NanaGaye No Restrictions Poetry writing prompt entry

Look at me I'm so beautiful. As my wife, please be dutiful? But all you seem to do is put your head down and chew. You're not vaguely impressed with my plumage and dress. I think I'll go visit hen Henrietta. They say she treats a bloke a lot better. I'll show her my plumage with a little wriggle. Then Henrietta will start to giggle - at the striking, sensuous sight. She may even ask me to stay the night. Oh! Now I see you looking my way. Does that mean you're ready to play? Hurry up I'll count to ten. Then we'll play 'Chase the hen.' In the Bird Garden there's two birds running. One quite plain and one quite stunning. Penny peahen is hiding under a tree. Percy fell over and hurt his knee. . 'Don't worry,’ said Penny ‘I'll kiss it better.' He didn't object, he lay there and let her. Now, if you in the garden in a few weeks time. You'll see little chicks running along in a line.           Percy is a very proud dad Especially of his little lad Penny will give lessons on chewing While Percy will instruct his son on wooing. They will be two birds of a feather Showing off in all kinds of weather.   Trouble is, when feathers get wet The vain birds will start to fret Their grand plumage will be sad and lame Perhaps no one will join their game All the pea hens will just walk by Saying ‘We’re off to find another guy.’   Writing Prompt Write a poem of any type to enter this poetry contest. Any subject. Author Notes Proud as a peacock they say, but pride comes before a fall
