Cathartic Poems

Cockatoo catharsis

Here's a tribute from me to you,
Recalling the old pet cockatoo,
His very vivid vocabulary,
Cathartic swearing, so funny,
He rose at dawn, would greet the day,
Sat on perch, screeched away,
Acquired language eagerly,
Nothing polite from that old he,'
Shared his emotions with us all,
Ended each day with his call,
Sleep tight now, so suitable.
Good night, bird beautiful.

Cathartic Blaze

Magma,
Earth's deep anger,
Fire erupts, ash ascends,
Life's raw, transformative power,
Mountain.

Pathetic Little Me

Don’t be foolish, Jenny!
Don’t be pathetic, Jenny!
Don’t you run away,
‘Cause this is your time!
Don’t be stupid, Jenny!
Don’t be pathetic, Jenny!
Don’t be anything ‘cause this is your life!

Stand at attention,
Straighten the spine,
You are her teacher, so teach her at school
She’s not your problem,
She’s not your life,
So pretend to move on and don’t be a fool

Don’t be

DREAM

LIVING LIFE LOOSELY, I CHOOSE TO DREAM MY DREAMS LUCIDLY
LIVING LIFE LIKE ME IS DREARY WOE IS ME.

LIVING LIFE IN A DREAM, I'VE NEVER FELT SO FREE .
LIVING LIFE IN REALITY, SLEEPING SOLACES ME.

LIVING LIFE IN A DREAM TRANSLUCENT, HAPPY, AND GLITTERY.
NOW I SLEEP PEACEFULLY BECAUSE I'LL STAY FOR ETERNITY. - Maleeeon

A Journey From Solitude To Hope

In the depths of solitude, a poet dwells,
A lover of words, where silence swells.
His heart, once vibrant, now laden with pain,
A life shattered, lost in a torrential rain.

A child, once joyous, his laughter's delight,
Now a memory that fades in the night.
A marriage, once promising, crumbled apart,
Leaving him broken, with a wounded heart.

Yet, amidst the darkness,

Cathartic Katherine

Helper for heartbreak's dissipation
           Coat of slick paint covers pain
        His younger hair longer temptation
           Gives dead Romeo fresh frame

Cathartic Thoughts

Age twenty-one, so young...was I 
I scribbled words, so time could fly 
I've always liked to riddle and rhyme 
So, I wrote a poem to pass my time 

John Lennon's name had filled my slot 
I wrote about...when he got shot 
So sad a day...I'll always remember 
Nineteen-eighty the eighth of December 

How cruel a

Cathartic For Me

Poetry writing is cathartic for me.
It makes me happy.
Helps me to be
me.

My own words
On a page
May help others to see
I am not nearly as fierce as I want to be.

Cathartic

To define the word cathartic
It means providing psychological relief
Through expressions of strong emotions
To substantiate one's beliefs

An example is a conversation
With someone 'bout their hopes and dreams
Hopes they have for themselves and family
Helping them stay on stream

Allowing someone to vocalize
Their anxieties, their worries, their fears
Can help them out at a time of great stress
Appreciated for the

A Cathartic Weave of Three

listen,
the whispers
of leaves
turn colour
autumn is here.

now that you are gone
who will wake every morn
to lift the sun
unveil the sky
etch in the clouds
who will paint the rainbow?

i had a dream and in the dream i wove you a poem
i used the fiber of my character to create spools of silken thread
dipped in the juices of my

Cursing Cathartic

Cursing Cathartic

I blooming swear too much these days
It really is disgraceful.
Went from one not to boo a goose
To using words distasteful.

It happened by design you see
Set emotions free from me. 
From where they had long lain -
Damaging and wasteful.

Don’t get me wrong it was
Effective in the expressive.
Speed it became habit alas
Just a little too impressive.

Cathartic Eclipse

Cathartic Eclipse 

I witnessed the death of the universe…
Tumbling, crushing, spinning
in the maddening chaos
of the spiral Time!

Eternity… ceased to exist,
Time… was no more,
my soul ripped asunder
the stars… show no more!

Pleading internally
I succumb my farewells,
emptied my concavities,
ashes of solitude reminded me
of quixotic moments
dismissed involuntarily 

you were oblivious to my presence
gazing emptily a brimming space,
surreality became my

Cathartic Evolution

The consummation of this 
                                        escape
blossoms into unhindered perception;
Naked, amenable gushes of slated clarity
wrack the the
