The Crown of a 'Poet'

My metaphors, like petit fours
   My similes work abysmally
My meter sometimes peters out
   Allusions, mere delusions

My irony shows its wrinkles
   Enjambment's full of kinkles
Iambic, Trochaic, and Passaic
   All strike me as rather archaic

Some bards swear by clever rhyme
   I only wish I had the time ~
Dare I don the crown of a 'Poet?'
   I leave it to the reader to bestow it

Then I can be 'Cracker Jack.' Smiles, Gershon
