I again decided to look to the archives and revive an old post. This one was short and sweet, and I am planning to keep it so. A riddle for you to solve in the form of an attempted poem. I present it in its original form without any updates or edits…
Who Is He?
Spread wings sparkle
Blues, greens, golds blend like a miracle
He is often times called vain
He loves singing – er, dancing – in the rain
Pride of a nation, that he is
Seen in full regalia – pure bliss
A strut in his step, a crown on his head
A cry that you can hear a mile ahead!

Going Back and Forth in Time
[From my original post dated Sept 7, 2013] For dVerse Poets and for G-Man’s Friday Flash 55, after more than 55 days of blogging absence, and a friendly nudge from dVerse’s very own Brian Miller (thank you, Brian!), here is a riddle – well, not really a hard one to guess.. but here it is..
[Return to the present date in Sept 2021] While I was not away for such a long period as in 2013, I was away longer than I should have been. This time, it was just my own need to return to it.
And as I return to blogging once more, I discover again that blogging is fun; and this feeling has remained the same, then, and now!
And Now, the End of This Post
Dear reader,
Yeeeehhhheey! I was wondering what you were up to 🙂
I used to live down the road from a family that owned Peacocks. They got loose a few times – they were so mean!
Gone 55 days eh?
What a coincidence!!
Loved your colorful 55 My Friend
Thanks for playing, don't be such a stranger
Have a Kick Ass Week End
he, a peacock…ok i cheated and looked at margarets…my original answer was much more sinister as i was applying it to a person..lol…welcome back…smiles.
Nice poem! I think that blogging for fun is the only real reason to do it. Others tend to be depressing and oppressive.
Peacock! You made that one easy – and such a wonderful symbol for returning in grandeur! Bravo, and welcome back!
ah their cry can make your blood freeze in your veins…but the beauty. – the beauty. – – smiles… cool riddle..
He also loves watching television through our patio doors. Or may just sees himself reflected?
55's galore then.
