at top of poetic tree
the exemplary talents are located
they who have a monicker
which is gold plated
to gain access into
this rarefied sanctum
one must be willing to crawl
up the fawning ******
but some aren't seeking
a place at the table with the upper truss
they are quite happy
to stay aboard the common man's bus
sniveling and groveling
at the feet of the elites
isn't a feat which enthuses
those who are seated in the lower rung seats
the luminaries
at lofty vantage point
all go on about humility
they might like to look inside themselves
at the mirror image
reflected in their seas
