I willingly pay a hard-earned fortune
just to lose excess
weight.
Many others have the misfortune
of having nothing
to eat.
I found eternal love.
Farewell to the blind caves
Of misfortune!
Shadows will not chain
Laughter again!

I found eternal love!
Farewell to the blind caves
Where misfortune dwells!
Shadows will not chain
Laughter again!

The progeny of who sires
A sea's storm-rageful
Overturn of it.
Partakes in whose misfortune
A carefree sailing.
Wall of rock does hit.
Broken promise wounds
Sting with ease of negligence
Weak and frail I plead
From the ground where you left me
Forsaking cranes fly above
re-post inspired by contest theme
Why so,
In life's pageant,
Some seek,yet come unstuck-
Whilst others from misfortune pluck
triumph.
It's a misfortune that company's are biased to individuals who are more then qualified for the job, yet their skin color or sex is against them
He who laughs at others misfortune
Must really be crying inside
And he who selflessly helps others
Must have a heart that's ten feet wide
Shrouded in mystery
Cloaked with misfortune
Gift of life
Kiss of death
Dark angels wings
Protect me again
A warm lighted heart
Encased in the cold
Thou ask misfortune to smile at thee,
Oh why, oh why indeed.
Thou reply, "For if I know why she grins at me,
I'll want to grin back at she."
Form:
modest in stature, yet
meaningful to many.
Mystically adorning
multiple cultures, its
motif varying from
mourning to offering,
misfortune to blessing.
They call white sour
they call mestizo black
they call oriental yellow
they call indian red
By naming the misfortune
exposing prejudice.
preconcetion fissure !
the
real shape
of your heart
will be revealed
not on your best day
but on the worst of them;
when your reaction
to misfortune
is witnessed
by your
foes.
i wish i wrote a book of wishes that would one day come true
i wish the pages would be blessed
i wish any bad luck or ill fortune be nullified from this wish from misfortune happening
Form:
Tiger Woods won the Masters
Rescued his career from ruin and disaster
The boos have turned to cheers; forgotten are the years
Of betraying his wife, destroying his family's life
Afternoon shadows lengthen too early
Days shrink away into night's sultry grip
Which restrains cheerful morning from welcoming
Us back to life, and the pursuit of fleeting pleasures
Ravens,
A touch of black,
A deep voice it’s using,
It appears when there’s misfortune,
Lurking.

Tumbling down the stairs
of misfortune
Slipping on the banana peels
of time
A curtain came down
on his opening act
The Fat Lady singing
—unrhymed
(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)
My use of a cane is more imperative each day
My unsteadiness is causing dangerous byplay
Lately, I have fallen
No serious misfortune
But what if I mess up my gorgeous face
With tragedy found
New misfortune and grief.
Thoughts shadowed by lonely nights.
All his laughs gone,
carried cries through the blackest of nights.
Bidding eternal love, Farewell.
There aren't many chances for misfortune to come across the path of the wise
For his concern is spirituality that his soul him with it preoccupies!

A circus performer – Louise -
while swinging mid-air by trapeze
missed the bar; it was grim.
What a pity for him!
He had the misfortune to sneeze!
Now for Brian Strand's the 'ALL YOURS(May 21)' Poetry Contest
A black dog
Whining and whimpering
Sitting at the end of the bed
An omen
personification of misfortune
Forever the dark cloud
looming over
everything I’ve loved
Forever the killjoy
It is not the physical ardor that helps someone bear and overcome calamities.
But
The strength of one's mind that withstands the colossal waves of misfortune!
