Best Overstatement Poems
clearlyi thought i could see clearly
clearly was an overstatement

an intruder in my concealment
leading me astray
insidiously blurring my vision
yet i pursued you without hesitation
uninterested in the warnings
how could i be so careless?
you brainwashed me
fed me lies upon lies
how could i be so stupid?
you made...

The Exclamation PointProving a point! An exaggerated ending
I see - I am drawing conclusions
An overstatement! Influential indeed
An extravagant means of spreading viewpoint
Ah! I write - I use it to exclaim
I end my proven thoughts with ability
Drawing attention to the written word
I see - you see ! You...

Hyperbolic Romance.
We've been there, so we understand
when love-slain pairs
pledge endless, fearless love to which
nothing compares.
And all that brave, romantic
exaggeration
that smacks of the lovers' paranoid

Not this selfish, ugly greed
I need this right this instant
I don't want this arrogance...

Left with this silly regret
I don't believe in...

Deor's LamentDeor's Lament
(Old English/Anglo-Saxon poem circa the 10th century AD)
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Weland endured the agony of exile:
an indomitable smith wracked by grief.
He suffered countless sorrows;
indeed, such sorrows were his bosom companions
in that frozen island dungeon
where Nithad fettered him:
so many strong-but-supple sinew-bands
binding the better...

Like waiting on court date
Foot steps get louder so
I begin to contemplate
Wondering how i choose
This line of profession to
Start with anyway,a mistake.
Mistake is a overstatement
At least in this point of wake
Wondering will I be apprehended
Dead...

Accumulating Anger: Sorry Isn'T EnoughI found out that God's mercy is bigger than our own
I figured out that God's spirit makes us feel not alone
But, I'm pretty regretful for the abominable sins that I've done
Sometimes, I wish that all my sins and faults would be gone
Really fatigued
Not very intrigued
The...

Don't look at me, I can feel your judgement.
But my heart beats a hundred thousand times faster
And my emotions been in a roller coaster.
That's what you made me...

Deprived Of Your LoveGlib rhetoric concerned with striking independence may seem frivolous,
nuanced rational quite often a typical traumatic casualty,
the once interminable interdependent passionate zeal disintegrating in rapid spasms,
a longing sated and mutually embraced by two compatible persons now collapsed,
indivisibility transformed or transforming into invisibility and the direction...
