He Has Convinced Himself

He has convinced himself he is a major poet
One who is quite worthy of literary note
Though locally known still unheard of elsewhere
Now he has to convince those of the bigger World out there
That as a poet he is up there with the best
One who has passed in flying colours his poetic test
A confident fellow he is what he does seem
Not one who is lacking in low self esteem
At the community rooms on poets night the applause for him loud
Of their local poet laureate his fans are quite proud
The most celebrated literary figure of the town
Is well on his way to far greater renown
At least that is how he does feel anyway
That he lacks in self confidence of him one cannot say.
