If you were an animal,
You’d be a peacock,
Dazzling everyone
Around you with your
Intoxicating beauty.

If you were a horse,
You’d be a white stallion,
A perfect combination of
Intoxicating beauty and
Unbeatable brawn.

If you were a painting,
You’d be one by Michelangelo,
Because only one as
Talented as him could ever
Make a painting with such
Beauty and meaning
With a single brush and a
Variety of colors.

If you were a book,
You’d be one I couldn’t put down,
Whose pages filled with knowledge
Would intrigue me and make me
Want to search for eternity
Until I found your meaning
Hidden within each page.

If you were a word,
You’d be perfection,
Because with your
Flawless mind and body,
There is no word
That fits you better.

Now I know not to write in the “website” place. But I’m gonna make a website! You inspired me. Tear tear.
ANYWAYS
I like this poem thing, because you used things to decribe her, but you painted a picture. She went from one thing to another, and I could see it. Like, it’s hard to explain, but it’s amazing. And THAT’S what the world needs now a days, a bit of color, a bit of hope.
The only thing I found wrong was that female peacock’s are brown, they have no colorful feathers. They have a little blue on the neck, but no long feathers like the guys. Yup…

i LOVE it! but mccann is right about the peafowl……i guess thats what theyre called. the peahens aren’t exactly radiant…..theyre rather brown. only the cocks are hot…..i mean colorful…..but i still think its awesome.
