Tell the story of a peacock that feels like it was born into the wrong family. This one’s quiet and a little self-conscious. How does it manage among its strutting, fancy-plumed siblings and peers? [Photo by KevinH, YWP archive]
here in the forest, there is a-waiting
a little bird, quiet and sweet
she does not quite understand
how they could have born her
these foreign beasts
Bright and lively the feathers surround
Everyone’s keeping their head up so high
They expect the young fledgling
To join them the glory and pride
