Wet leaves, fragrance and beauty of flowers are making the air racy and colorful.
Shrubs spring up like perfunctorily sprouted beards of a penurious old man,
It is as if the floras are competing with each other to reach the heaven.
The roof of the jungle is shadowed by the dread dark clouds,
Even in this midday it seems the evening has already approached.
Through the fissures of the roof of the trees filtering little droplets of rain water,
Reaching the shed leaves on the ground they echo pitter-patter pitter-patter.
Tweeters of birds are showing their restlessness on being wet in the shower,
Intermittent fierce sounds of wild animals is creating horrifying silence all over.
The love-thirsty peacock is neither worried nor distracted by these alarming peals,
A heart laden with the desire of love and romance neglect and ignores such obstacles.
He recognizes the murmuring sound coming out of the cluster of the bushes,
Where a fascinated peahen, is sole goal is waiting in hiding to witness his dashes.
More beauteous than his female counterpart, he is inebriated by this much awaited rain,
And wishes to impress and seduce her through his dance, noises for a love-union.
He lifts, spreads and vibrates his fancy tail feathers fast and furious with huge rustling sound,
Gives loud and raucous voice to his call while tapping ferociously his feet on the ground.
His iridescent blue feathers of neck and sumptuous black feathers of his crown,
Quivering of the colorful eye-spots all are meant to entice the peahen.
As an encouragement the sky begins to beat the drums of its thunder,
And lighten the arena with lightning to glorify and beautify the caper.
His eyes begins to overflow with tears, maybe that is a part of his feat,
She comes out of the hidings and starts to drink them and fulfill her thirst.
Tears too can bring happiness though incongruous and unbelievable to hear,
But its a fact that is evident and proven in case of this peahen here.
The atmosphere get electrified with the hissing sound of the pair,
Its excitement, enjoyment, rejoicing , dancing, romancing all over here.
The courtship dance ended with the loss of gorgeous tail feathers for him,
Instead it give delight of putting foundation of a new generation for both of them.
