Ode to a smug poet.

I meter , I rhyme , I profoundly articulate.
About love , life I magnificently pontificate.

spectacularly projecting thought thread as I ruminate,
my verse is so pure , my insight vastly suffocates.

you wonder my poetic gift as this verse I fabricate.
many poets my brilliance will strive to emulate.

Pure human endeavor, as the glutton I emancipate.
the felon , the crook,  the sly I deftly berate.

i beat my chest whilst i sonnet intelligently.
all the while my ego murders my own fragile humility.
