Catharsis (a poem)

Catharsis is a term in dramatic art that describes the "emotional cleansing" sometimes depicted in a play as occurring for one or more of its characters, as well as the same phenomenon as (an intended) part of the audience’s experience.

Catharsis
---------------------


Catharsis 
Essence of purging 
All those emotions 
Through a story that isn't your own 
A play of expertly written play wright 


You laugh 
You cry 
You feel fear 
A real cycle of a true play watcher 


At the end 
Wine is sipped 
Odd spinach/broccoli cheese wraps
Each of them hastily devoured
As if they are made for super heroes with a super power built in

Actors come out
Ooo ahhhhh
That man's alive
That woman didn't really do the deed
Minor sigh of relief as it felt so real

Good jobs and pats on the back
Are passed around like
Like its a group of stoners
Passing a bong who say, "Oh wow that is good"

Life continues
Like a clock
Expertly crafted
Because relief was sought
And obtained

Its Over & Done. Time to forget her and get back out there

Readers; Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're world's. Its now 12:17 in the morning just got home from Roaring Springs which I got in for free so that was fun but I found myself dwelling on what I didn't have; what had come to a close; that being the relationship with Jolene and I. Hell it was an even shorter relationship than the one with my last ex at this point I think I might be something of a plague. So many people are like you are awesome blah blah blah but of course what the fuck else are they going to say? Over these past weeks I learned I flunked my summer math class so that makes me feel overjoyed!  Hell at this point I am pretty sure I will get out of college when I am maybe thirty years old. At this point in my life I seriously am left wondering again what do I have to truly offer a woman seriously in a substantial sustaining relationship. I mean I still live with my parents while going to college. I have a part time job that somewhat pays the...

Sometimes its a two cup of coffee morning

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going good in you're worlds. This morning I am sitting here drinking my first cup of coffee and must be getting old because I was up until oneish that is until my brain finally quit working and let me sleep prior to that skyped with my girl which was nice to relax and just talk to her after another long day of working on math; but i am thinking wow I am tired should have hit the hay earlier. Wow I didn't think i'd ever be saying that...ever ever you are talking to the night owl of night owls. Or at least maybe once upon a time I was the night owl now its just I stay up reading and most mornings I am like okay I got this so i don't even think about it (thinking the second might be the case). Oh and this morning before I get going I thought of a random little coffee jingle/poem/i don't even know but here you go I am thinking most people can appreciate this:  ‎"Coffee...Coffee...Coffee. There is nothing quite like you n...

The Countdown Begins

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're world's. On my end literally I am doing that countdown until the end of the semester. Right now have this next week and than the next is finals week and I am free. On the whole TRASHION fashion show as an photographer during the event I seriously was kind of all over the place wasn't too happy because my camera didn't see too be working etc and lo and behold later as in yesterday I went through my photographs and I got more than 8 solid photographs that I would say wow about! If you're an artist of some sort or so you are you're own worst critic hands down. My best friend David Blake was there as well taking pictures it was great to have someone whom knew exactly what they were doing to give me some instruction on how to grab those photographs Jenna my contact within the club I'll share a few of those photos and before I do so I must give thanks to The Boise State Sustainability Club, Kris...
