That means it's also time for Vivian Kirkfield's #50preciouswords contest. Yea! Here's my official entry -- although I could tweak and revise and smoosh words around all day if I had the time! The Peasant and the Peacock A Prince arrayed in finest silk, His robe the color of buttermilk, Travels the kingdom puffed with pride, A thorny heart nestled inside. “My kingdom is yours if ever you see Anyone quite so handsome as me!” A peasant girl in a dirty frock Quietly points to a dazzling peacock.
