Lyric poetry is a type of poetry that expresses the poet's personal thoughts and feelings, often in a song-like manner.

Catharsis is a term used to describe the release of emotional tension that occurs when a person experiences a work of art, such as a play or a poem.

Lyric poetry achieves catharsis by using vivid imagery and figurative language to create a sense of emotional resonance with the reader, by telling a compelling story that allows the reader to experience the emotions of the characters, and by providing a sense of closure that allows the reader to move on from the emotional experience.

Ode to a Nightingale is a lyric poem by John Keats that expresses the poet's personal thoughts and feelings about the beauty of a nightingale's song.

William Shakespeare is known for his use of catharsis in his plays, such as Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.

Catharsis benefits the reader by allowing them to experience a wide range of emotions, to understand their own emotions, and to provide them with a sense of closure.

Lyric poetry expresses the poet's emotions, while narrative poetry tells a story. Lyric poetry is typically shorter than narrative poetry and uses more figurative language.

The structure of a lyric poem creates a sense of rhythm and flow, helps the reader to follow the poet's train of thought, and provides the reader with a sense of closure.
