Delusions

Words

flood out

on my page;

pentameter,

in elegant style.

Expressive sentiments,

pouring forth profound meaning,

in carefully crafted stanzas

to delight the casual reader.

Each perfectly projected syllable

showing imperious erudition,

I perform this latest masterpiece

to waiting contemporaries.

With fleeting introspection,

I wonder to myself;

when had I acquired

such delusions

about my

writing

skill.
