Best Overreaction Poems


Premium Member An Oyster's Revenge
The Sun was acting rather strange
With the Moon and Stars concerned.
As it was not content to share the sky...
And not prepared to wait its turn.
So the sea was simmering and boiling hot
Without the night's return.

But the Moon and Stars were patient
And before long they had...

What Emotions Wanna Say
Today's generation has lost the sense of emotions.
What they call pain, anger and happiness is all a simple imagination.
Let me tell you life is a movie, yes, i repeat, life is a movie, in which you are the you are the producer , you are...

Premium Member A Frightful Buffet
Miss Muffet was a girl of thirteen, filled with youth's beauty and charm;
And a love of vibrant life zealous, like eager, vivid thunder of blue alarm.

She was a fine student, pert and popular; like the primrose popularity;
Or stars appearing at the designated hour, sparkling like...

Immensely Seeking
And Like that. 
I had this overwhelming urge.
I don't know what came over me.
I asked God is this the route I should take.
This habit of association. 
To weed out what may seem to be selfish. 
Time is of the essence. 
This illusion of what is...

Love Harbour
Love Harbour

The plug was pulled when you parted away
from what we intended. That hope of our day
As water ran out, and our love-boat assailed
by overreaction. Our hope was de-railed

I had to be vigilant as I made a way
to an alternate time-spent; A moment to pray
Well...

The geese.
Again.

Interrupt my day;
which had been
    -Interrupted
(All day.)
by my wand’ring mind.
It hithers and thithers.
As the boyish body 
ages, the brain withers.
Each day a protest;
silent but for the creaks and groans
(some audible),
against the Grand Dissolution
when my organized bits
are no longer suspended in
solution
and I...

May Fourth
May 4th

On this day the war
Had finally come to our door
The decision-making was poor
Because the night before had been fiery
But it was an overreaction to call out the national corps
This rashness would lead to the death of four
That would rock a nation and a movement...

A grinning salesman at the door,
She slammed it in his face and swore.

For Susan's Overreaction...

The Mad Years
The Mad Years 
Years ago my first wife had left me for another man 
I was crazy by jealousy she in another man`s arms 
intolerable.
A ghost walking through town in a haze of whisky 
a meltdown caused by dishonest self-importance.
I didn`t see how pathetic I...

Less Than Nothing
Feeling so unwanted and having to keep myself guarded
Tired of being used and then discarded
Left all alone with my faith departed
Miserable, unhappy and broken hearted
Overreaction to everything that comes my way
I am just so tired of being tossed away
As if I am something left on...

Starts With O and Ends With N
The other day I read a Facebook post,
where they asked this silly question again.
Find a word that starts with the letter O,
but that word must end with the letter N.

Of course, I know it’s just my opinion,
and taken from my own observation.
That it would not...

Imbalanced Reaction
imbalanced reaction
disproportionate overreaction
state of sudden fluctuations of
mood within a single encounter 
left in a state of confusion 
left in a state of despair
left in a state of distress
whenever the two selves
would happen to meet 
creating conflict to lest 
for weeks 
a never ending cycle
of emotive...

Crisis
The NBA was on strike,
Everyone is in the fight. 
Racial injustice rages on,
It’s urgent for change to come.

Black man paralyzed with seven pops,
No actions are taken to make a stop.
White man gets the special treatment,
While black people are viewed a threat.

Majority of people say overreaction,
To...

Any story travels fast,
in a three dog town.
Moments from inception, 
it will move crosstown.

Once a close group,
now fragmented friends.
Each waiting on the other,
to make amends.

It shouldn’t take much,
just issue a retraction. 
For what began as a joke
got an overreaction.
