Birds In Paradise

In the tropics I have held temptation,
By its tail not to pluck beauty pieces,
Orchids in play with the coleus leaves,
Ever green bottle palms and ferns in relief;

Twined creepers as they toss in the moist breeze,
Provoke colorful beak birds to observe,
Natural life as it flowers freely;
Beckons all to the "Bird Of Paradise";

If only one could paint in color hues;
Could he play havoc with these wild beauties?
