Imagination only dreamt
In dark the starkness hid its flight
Until the tropic Phoenix went
Arrayed from daytime into night

one day on a bus

displays a bird of paradise.

Bird of paradise shows triumphant glow
Exuding majesty to the fullest
While championing joy midst climate change-woe.

ALMOST ALIEN
(abba)

The Bird of Paradise plant that I saw
Spiky petals in a vivid orange shade
Only Nature could have displayed it
And so strange that none can ignore

Premium Member Bird-of-Paradise



Silent warblers perch as garden’s crooners
With crest-petalled wings flapping as banners
All day long they exude unfading light
That no woeful glooms conceal their brightness.

The eye of the storm was to blame, Eve thought. Fruit, ripped from the twig, wicked to behold. Orbit of Adam, not at all thoughtful. Outside of paradise bird grows old.

Bird of Paradise

Blue birds hide in the radiant orange flowers
protected from the long soft showers
Stems peek out from the shade of the large paddles of leaves
The Bird of Paradise is most brilliant flower I have ever perceived

Premium Member I Dreamed a Bird-of-Paradise

I dreamed a bird-of paradise arose one starry night.
Beautifully plumed, it floated in mystical moon-light.
I drifted along with it, as delicate as fine lace,
extraordinarily content, unconstrained and graceful.

Premium Member Blue Bird-Of-Paradise

 
Creatures of whimsy floating, passion airing, falling to Earth from God is the myth and prayer. The male’s tails dance with intricate plumage details, a quite ornate bird in the tropical forest with haunting wails.

Bird-of-Paradise

So, he came and dazzled you with his plume
And you simply succumbed to his grooming.
Pregnant, he’s gone, what have you got to do?
This may very well be your undoing.

Premium Member Enchanted

A Bird-of-Paradise displays
and dances into naïve heart.
Its plumage dazzles, bright arrays— 
a Bird-of-Paradise displays.
The spell seduces, now betrays; 
desire and danger play their part. 
A Bird-of-Paradise displays
and dances into naïve heart.

Premium Member A Shower of Flowers

Tulips fronting daffodils
  Azaleas in pots on windowsills

Rows of rainbow chrysanthemums
  Mingle with orange geraniums

Bright pink peonies ready to pop
  A bird of paradise sits on top

Still ~ Red roses always make my day
  Arrange them in a sweet bouquet

sag between green leaves

Premium Member Which Bird Shall I Be

Which flying bird shall I choose to be?
Would Bird of Paradise suit me?
Owl, falcon or hawk might be fun.
Bohemian waxwing is on the run.
Trumpeter Hornbill or Military Macaw?
King vulture or Jackdaw?
Flamingo with her peachy color?
I can’t decide. I’ll ask my mother.

Premium Member Dance By Firelight

On the breezes to sink and rise,
Flutters scented bird of paradise,
In the days of mauve butterflies,
They captivate all waiting eyes!

Bittersweet in fate, days go by,
Under the dreaming summer skies,
'Til evening finds beauty's prize,
Now dancing with the fireflies!

To a Bird of Paradise

Don't watch my footsteps disappear
in search of ephemeral rocks to anchor
But wait with me to gather spirits
so I won't be afraid of Sunsets...

When orange melts away in darkness 
Just stay with me until it's over
Caress my stranded fins with Dawn
Please do Not cry..I will be... Home...

Premium Member Angels and Lyres

An angel walks the earth
Where mortal sinners
Gave a nation birth
An angel of elaborate plume
Once called Bird of Paradise
Still unsurpassed in tune
Its plectrum plucks the lyre
With an unmatched grace
And such a boundless repertoire 
As to flush Apollo's face

It unfurls into song anything it's heard
Meet the maestro angel, Australia's Lyrebird

When Did It Happen

When did it happen?
How did I not notice?
What distracted me?
Or have I been blind
Where did she go?
The awkward girl of yesterday
Where is that ungainly creature?
When did you become a woman?
Have I been blind all this time?
When did you bloom into woman hood?
When I looked away
You were an ugly duckling
When I looked back
A bird of paradise
When did you become so beautiful?

The Sunflower

Paradise garden, green and lush.  Berries a sharp red growing on a bush.
Translucent petals fall like the autumn leaves, golden with a dash of hazel.
Immense beauty beyond belief.

A flitted ray of yellow beams down so bright.  Elegant, light standing tall, each petal a honey-suckled yellow.  The bird of paradise standing tall, for all to see.  Her beauty speaks to me.  Singing in the morning hour.

Two Doves

~*~ Two Doves ~*~

Perched atop a bird of paradise tree

Two doves sing merrily

Recounting every flight

And every plight they have ever endured

Never looking back on their sorrows

Soaring new heights tomorrow

Caught up in a most extravagant breeze 

Atop a million trees

Two doves cuddling in their nest of eternal harmony!

Premium Member The Mighty Cedar

The mighty tree leaning
Into the shore
Wind swept stark
Some limbs totally nude

In the silhouetted 
Hours of the night
By soft full moonlight
Its black outline against Cobalt Blue
Water and land

The distinct shape appears
The shape of a Bird of Paradise
The plumage full almost see a twist
A twist of its head
As it looks at the moon
Its call is absent
Imagination at work
Can surely supply a simple call

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?
