Best Elapsed Poems

All those years flew away 
for nothing.
Then of course the headaches 
started when weeping constantly
at the unfairness of my marriage.
You need to know that I didn't 
love him but I cherish the family 
we've created, you, my children 
are the center of my life.

My hardships...

Semblative a poet's wooer
A villain's swain
         wot not?
The complex pox,a sickly
wine?
Whore,a huligan mazzle
sooner the old blue wanes
What remains?
         Waggish frawn?

Sedative grief.
These trumpery looks of
stones,this vaward sob,
Prattle odds and old
slacks,quaffing...

It was 8:46: Eight minutes and forty six seconds to solemnly remember;
 George Floyd desperately gasping for breath; until, he transitioned yonder.
Though he pleaded and cried, with every breath, that couldn’t be sounded louder;
Even bystanders joined, echoing his dying pleas, to this the cops didn’t...

Today was yesterday, tomorrow will be today
I’m somewhat mixed up to what I should say,
You see the clock is reversing the time
So anything I do say is not going to rhyme. 

Everything I can do was done the day before
Those that I can’t do aren’t...

Approximately three plus days elapsed...
without yours truly experiencing urge to defecate

Neither bloating nor constipation
arose, but one nondescript anguished
logophile anticipated intestinal blockage,
hence prophesying worse case scenario

I (predicated in direction for an adult)
ingested three Dulcolax tablets
and subsequently this joker
found himself riddled
with debilitating diarrhea dilemma
that afflicted me hours...

One Month Into Winter 2019 Elapsed Here...

Within Perkiomen Valley, Pennsylvania,
thus far marginal snowfall
yet...the Furies of old man winter
huffs and puffs...with gall
unable make headway

against invisible firewall
shielding this area 
of the keystone state haul
in tandem with the spirit 
of Saint Peter, Paul

and Mary (Southeastern -
tri county (also)

A Mirage That Elapsed

Early in the morning I was suddenly awoken

From that of a sound of passing eager merchants toiling along

Through a mirage that elapsed,
For all that anyone truly has to do is just ask ?
Through a papal vow one can't look back at the...

One month into summer 2022 elapsed here...

Within Perkiomen Valley, Pennsylvania,
thus far marginal rainfall for season
nevertheless...the hazy, hot and humid dog days
meanwhile (gad) Zeus  
tiredly huffs and puffs...with a growl
regarding thunderstorm unable to make headway

against invisible firewall
shielding this area 
of the keystone state haul
in tandem...

And now I sit inside my glass prison, 
Screaming to be let free, 
But all my efforts are in vain, 
You can't even hear me. 
Look into my tear stained eyes 
And tell me what you see
Am I so completely dead to you,
 That you...

Time is just a moment
A moment is just time
Each second counts as your time
Lingering will waste time

Then you have to make up time
If you delay it then you forfeit it
It always moves and never stops
Until your clock stops

Take your time and use it
Don’t let it...

Twenty years elapsed since Harriet Harris, née Kuritsky gave up the ghost ~ May 5th, 2004

Often these days
the following genuine sentiment
Matthew Scott Harris
doth wish to share one son,
cuz twenty years after mother succumbed
courtesy of terminal illness
that ravaged her body.

I still reckon how yours truly
shrugged off...
