Dance of Dalliance

Tall, glamorous, elegant
a sight to behold
flamboyant in his attire
he preens; invading her space
shameless, so bold!
unimpressed, she remains unruffled
he shimmies and shakes
parading his dance
such a ritual he performs
in the name of a little romance!
the 'bevy' of beauties,
a harem of sorts
remain unperturbed,
an article he makes of himself 
as he rattles and cavorts!
Suddenly the sun appears
reflective
altering his structures
ethereal, pristine clear
of microscopic crystals
fluorescent, iridescent 
Many 'eyes' are upon him
revealing, then concealing,
he blazes his trail
as a bride in her wedding gown...
plumage of satin emerald
regalia, he wears the Crown,
quills dazzle in blue azure
His fantail on full display
he delivers...
she quivers
responding to his love call
succumbing to his allure.

(Peacock enchantment)
