It was just by a chance that I got to know there are peacocks in a nearby shrine.  Then, I searched for a haiku and a poem from ancient China with a “peacock” motif.  I soon found both but they both are poems on spring season, which means I was a little late to do this.

ふとしたことから、近くのお宮さんに孔雀がいることを知りました。そこで、孔雀を題材にした俳句と漢詩を探したところ、両方ともすぐに見つかりましたが、両方とも春の詩で、少々遅かったです。
