He Proclaims Himself To Be A Major Poet

He proclaims himself to be a major poet with me this is okay
But what he is or is not is not for me to say
On who is a major poet literary critics are well paid to decide
In This Country the same as it is Worldwide
Though many would not see him as a poetic great
At least himself he does not under-rate 
His own praises in public he does like to sing
But in the twenty first century self promotion is not a rare thing
Yet self praise is no praise as the wise one does say
A truism from the past that remains relevant today
Though fame as a poet in life he pursue
One can only hope his literary dreams for him will come true
A young man in his twenties who likes to proclaim himself to be a major poet
Though many believe him as unworthy of even local literary note.
