Note: Some poems are definitely more straightforward than others, and many of the poems have multiple interpretations. But let’s be honest, if you’ve read this far (past my “poetry simulator” intro) you already know all this, so let’s get to the poems! The protagonist is asked to pick twenty words that make up a “poem,” and depending on the words picked, Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri will have different reactions on the next day and show you different poems.

In DDLC, the main gameplay element is a poetry game that you play several times throughout the game. In this post, I will list all of the poems in the story and do my best to explain any meanings they may have. Since Doki Doki Literature Club (DDLC) was released by Team Salvato in September 2017, it’s taken the world by storm as a top-notch visual novel crossed with a poetry simulator.
