Rainy day 
Wet dog on pavement 
Looking in
Seeing me
Sit by the cosy fireside 
Ignoring its plight.

Damp shiver,
under wanton fog,
lone self plight,
as shrill cry,
swallowed by eerie phantoms,
of snow gust night’scape

Little Yellow Church

I search for Heaven's brightest light
                                
                  Finding a church to aid in my plight

Short

I left my heart in the sand...
On a beach, named Weirs
With a plight of distaste
And, a demon for every freckle on Her face...


Andrea Dietrich

Your poem, Andrea Dietrich, 
put flame to my candle stick's wick; 
and shed light 
on my plight 
that my Poetry Soup's too thick.

looking in the wrong direction
looked left when I should 
have looked right
always going in circles
no end to directional plight

A tale of a town at night where birds fly,
They die in the daylight,
If they don’t assume a height,
This position is their plight.

God set fire to the only bush 
A terrible plight
No paper in sight
All the leaves went up with a whoosh!

Beware, take care
I'm wary,
Disturbed,
Upset
And perturbed

I'm in a plight,
Nothing feels right,
Grey skies ahead
Too many dead.

Flying kite disconnected
                              entangled in a tree 
                              Poor goes in search of justice

Is a phrase we often use
But of course to prove you are one
I'm afraid you have to lose

so I can keep you warm tonight.
I pray God ends our homeless plight.

Premium Member Their Plights

Eerie mystery of the night's unknown,
Now shown as strength unites,
Strived against diminished lights,
The cyhyraeth moans their plights.
Form: Englyn

Boxed

the chains that are bound
choking on each other's ignorance

fall short of the key

linked in division and plight
unable to stand as one

Bloody Mondays

A Lady of the Night took fright
When she saw her customer's plight
For Jack-the-Ripper
Held a glass slipper
On a Monday, nothing goes right!
Form: Limerick

My neighbor is a real glutton
At a feast, he gobbled much mutton,
Besides other meat,
Ate piles of sweet!
Now his trousers, he can’t button!!

Premium Member Starlit Night

Heart filled with desire,
Inspired by divine fire.
Seeking truth and light.
May the stars hear my own plight,
As I pray throughout the night.

Premium Member Shipwrecked

Lost upon the waves,
Ship splinters 'neath storm's fury,
Sky merges with sea.
Island sands embrace my plight—
Hope blooms in the heart of night.

Premium Member Clear White

The drive
   to write
   of sights
   takes flight
   my plight

   While light
   clear white
   shines bright
   at night
   all's right

Limerick

Fear used to run his life 
because he had no wife
and he slept early every night
Conscious of each and every plight
I’m talking about Mr. Clife.

Cent Thoughts

Keep it light and stay in plight
Things will work smooth
Clam the fight 
No fighter of the real war 
Gets mad
Love, Hope Charity 
Thinking life

Darkness

Is it a presence of black rays or the absence of light
Either ways, its the same plight
The time when time chokes tight
And only fear seems bright
