Best Predominates Poems


Trump Sucks
Trump Really Upsets Most People;
This Reality Unsettles Minority Persons.
True Republicans Unhappily Must Proceed.
The Real Upshot Means Pandemonium.
Truth Rarely Understood, Meanness Predominates.
Truthers Retreat, Ugly Men Project.
The Reactionary, Unworthy Media Protects.
Therefore Respond United, Meaning Protest!!!!...

"Where love rules, there is no will to power;
and where power predominates, there love is lacking.
The one is the shadow of the other."

Waiting Period
Enormous, though
Waiting is getting 
More exciting
As ahead is nearing
We might question, though.

What is the future?
Expecting it wholesome
But presence quench is welcome
Somehow, indeed your absence
The demand predominates me.

Yet as a dutiful partner
It comes a header
When it shall consummate  is further
Making us more of a dreamer
Then,...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



'drought'
Hunger inflicts,
And thirst oppress.
The tongue succumbs-
To mouth’s barrenness.

I hear the drums of famish,
And feel the heat of the throat.
The muscles grow thin-
For famine predominates.

Hmm! the phallus releases it last drop,
As the anus hit it last shot.
Even the intestines are to-
Endure for a coon’s age.

Oh! Sere,...

Despite the pulsing pirouette of urban thresholds,
coruscating catalyst amid detachment,
of golden spoke carousel magnetism,
circle-shape swivel platform roundabout,
that spreads incipient wish fulfilment caper,
as townscape dweller devotee who revels,
in gargantuan silver tinged mineral rush,
of prodigious scoop simolean ascent,
whilst duty bound vociferation from the margins,
will enlist majestic magnanimity...

Across Figurative and Literal Blackened White Board
Across figurative and literal blackened white board...

Where death of democracy writ large,
nevertheless psychological strength predominates
unlike earlier chapters of mein kampf.

Mine hardscrabble existential debacle 
spelled losing game
swept me up in malevolent mindset 
far adrift from harbored haven; 
I floundered like a fish out of water 
entangled...

Folie a Deux
Folie à deux
("shared madness," or "madness for two").

I suffer in silence, though not alone
kvetching old curmudgeon (me)
(once upon a time, a promising
long haired pencil necked geek)
buzzfeeding off life's miniseries
of unedited miseries in tandem

with ideal counterpart ofttimes
easily mistaken for a clone
Matthew Scott Harris
unable to function without...

ELIOT PHRASIS 1
Languid among the trees and
feathery grass,the all embracing sky,
stirring smoke of autumn days.Fear
and trembling predominates over
hope,where memories of past
incidents may pass as history.
Then,exquisite truth and delicacy
touches this heart and sprinkles
precious grains of tenderness and
calm.In a triumph of human goodness
emotion blends everything into
harmony.Sweet piety...

Pleasant spring like day February 9th, 2024
Pleasant spring like day February 9th, 2024

A scent (and sixth sense predominates),
when apple boughs
and other aromatic flora
laden with blossoms and fruit
gently assail cilia of the nostrils,
aside from aiding distinguishing 
pleasant or unpleasant smells 
additionally incorporate complex structures 
of the paranasal sinus mucosa 
in which function...

Halloween
It's Halloween again! The moon is high
And waxing. The night is calm and darkness
Predominates everything. Some clouds try
In vain to quench the lunar fluorescence.
Below, a ray of light exposes weird
And freakish happenings, surreal things!
A quiet crowd of ghoulish kids appear.
Impressive costumes make the evening
An apropos...

The Missus Discerns a Glimmer of Empathy Within Her Spouse
Finally after twenty two plus
years of marriage,
a husband (namely yours truly -
hitherto known as Matthew Scott Harris)
exhibits glint of care and concern
toward his significant other,
which wife bemoaned
absent expressions of love
particularly before the
honeymoon even occurred.

I readily admit shying away
from emotional intimacy,
especially toward the gal
whose pledge I...

in himself
 motifs of the lonely
where
    nature predominates

 hidden in the  dream...

an organic
      static frame

immersed
in
deep melancholy

  see it  feel it
inhabit
    the narrative
enter the mood

yearning
    silent
  transitions
enigmas

absorbed
    by the composite
in
cocoons
  of complexity
silhouetted
in
      moodscapes
of
prolific
  potent  panoramas

contemplated

Serenity Fields
One of the poems from my chapbook #IT'S GODLY

The howling winds depicts no hurricanes
The sound of rains tapping on the stones is no noise
But a reminder that in the fields,
human silence predominates,
In the fields time stand still and troubles distill
Birds hosts with lullabies to comfort...
