Anticlimactic Poems | Examples


Premium MemberDecember 26, 2023 Moon- Waxing Gibbous phase

The day after Christmas is always a little 
anticlimactic the gifts opened – the wrappings 
and ribbons all tidied, although a few gifts 
may arrive late and our Boxing Day guests 
may add a few.

But we're past the solstice, 
days will slowly get longer
and the moon rising over 
the valley’s leafless trees
was a bit over half-full 
– kinda like my mood.

Once the Bee Has Left

If you know that you can,
do you really still have to

With uncertainty gone,
does incentive still thrive

Must you then prove to others,
what you know beyond measure

Is it anticlimactic
—once the bee leaves the hive

Thoughts

she felt she had been consumed
by the thoughts that people consumed

they said she asked for more
that made her a whore

you shouldn't eat that
it will make you fat

the thoughts that swept through her mind
the voices were never kind

dirt thrown in her face 
the words couldn't be erased

your a girl so you must like pink 
if you don't you need a shrink

the make up made her confident 
they told her she was asking for it

they said she was dramatic 
because it was anticlimactic

nothing would ever happen
this was just in
could would never begin

Premium MemberStencils

it didn't help
that he was an artist
an actual, painting artist 
I stole his stencils
to demonstrate a metaphor
but he swore 
that I betrayed him
but I craved him
I craved his closure
and he craved his canvas - me
with his stencils in my hands
I hoped
not for an apology.. no..
but just to retrace his history
gathering this anticlimactic moment
me
painting 
him


                                                  to be continued . . .

My Thyroid and You

A scorpion tail
Tell me when it's safe to yell
For God's sake I'm shaking here,
Breaking here, taking breaths of arid air
And drowning
Sandy bubbles rising, crowning 
An anticlimactic pop
Please stop! You're hurting me
The heat, it steeps like morning tea
Your sandy screams live and breathe 
My self-fulfilling prophecy 
It burns, I can't. I can't 
I can't be water for you cup 
Deserted here with not enough 
I'm empty too. It's
Me. 
My disease.

Galactic Warming

Galactic Warming
By Desiree Espinoza	

Galactic times we live in today
Galactic advances lend itself to practice ways

Galactic issues must among the human race
Are we tactic with these problems we face?

Galactic days are here forever
Lactating and spawning pollution and anticlimactic weather

Galactic steel spaceship crashes
The event anticlimactic
A one-eyed alien dashes
Winding against wind apractic

From another galaxy pair
Heard that upon earth herds eat pears
In atactic state couldn't climb stairs
Swiftly did pray but was prey unwares

Behind a flower did lie man
The practic approach, his tactic
This alien to steal, game plan
Soon approach this galactic 

Fair were his few thoughts uncontrolled
Though alien thoughts were lactic
Since he hit the liquor steel, rolled
Moonshine did steal for extragalactic

On my Galaxy small, small  screen 
Right there did view their scary scenes
Do pray that these two do not glean
Offsprings to have mixed matched genes

Out of this world
