Understatement Poems | Examples


Premium Member Examples of understatement

What if the orbiting earth were to unexpectedly run into a brick wall
speeding through the galaxy one night in the middle of Fall?
Can you imagine the sounds of death, destruction, and annihilation
as Christchurch, New Zealand, crashes into the Atlanta Metro bus station?
I don’t think that that would be any fun at all!

unintentional unbearableness n that,s an understatement utmostly - yet' ur unappreciative - - -

Branch out like leaves do
Picked a clover instead of 
Looking for Unique

it's autumn time now..
missed the forest for the trees
send me ease breeze please

UNDERSTATEMENT

language
 confirms
the
 familiar
 even a weakness
angst
  melodrama
wonder

the
significant
  reciprocated
precisely


a
 modern echo
momentarily
a
slight
  foretaste
 vibrant
elegant
 twirling
 surreally
&colourfully
rendered

an avatar
of
estrangement
in an
unmistakable
 panoply
of
glowing
visages
 eyeballing
sallow
 isolation &
 unsettling
 existence

animated
 swirling
fathoms
of
fantasy
irradiated
  with
innocence
exuding
the
will-o’-the-wisp
influence
expressly
 apparent

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

A Gross Understatement

Just once, could you
Understand my 
Side of
Things?

Over and over again and we
Never
Even get to the point that I'm

Mostly right!
Open your eyes to
Reality!
Even a child can see

That it's your fault and you're the
Only one to

Blame!
Let go
And just deal with your
Mistakes.
Even though I don't know how that feels, I'm always here for you.
