Oh, I hope this is not trying to be a poem about a woman dressed up for a night out, because that would really make me mad. The problem is that I don't see another interpretation for the poem that's really possible... maybe it's just talking about love in general, for real, but it rings false for me.
Haha, mostly because just because you take away a peacock's feather doesn't change its sex.
Ugh, especially when you use the phrase "struts around flashing everyone" it makes me think you're trying to write about a girl, which I am so against. Please can dress however they like, and just because you might take away the clothes and the makeup doesn't make them any less of a person. If that's your intended meaning, I guess I just don't agree with the poem.
In terms of material regardless of my opinion, I'd suggest cleaning up the meaning more. Make it clear so we can agree with you, accept the emotion and things you propose, or fight you and move on. Also, do peacocks really have tempers? All the ones I've known have run away, so that beak thing doesn't read as real to me, either. Check your sentences to make sure they say what you want them to. Look at them one by one; literally separate them in a word document so you can look at only one sentence at a time. Does each line or sentence do what it needs to do? Does it also do something extra? Use your words wisely!
I hope this was helpful. Also, sorry for kind of reading these poems backward, but it doesn't seem like it matters anyway? If it does, let me know and I'll have another look.
As I said before, please PM me if you have any questions or comments about my review.
Good luck and keep writing!
