Poetic form: Cascade

As the peacock spreads his feathers in joy
By dancing to the tune of the light drizzle
Encompassing the air around, with his twirl

The peahens watch, impressed by the beauty
The spectators learn how to celebrate life
As the peacock spreads his feathers in joy

When the Earth is ready to quench its thirst
The grass, trees, and birds welcome the change
By dancing to the tune of the light drizzle

Forget the gloom that threatens to choke
Embrace each opportunity like the peacock
Encompassing the air around, with his twirl
