The Exalted Poet

E cdemomania is a Poets affliction  
                                They are ill with words
X enagogues  in their fluent expression 
                                Carefully assigning their lyric to
A bsterge  art with purity and impression  
                                 In their quest and flair for the
L atitudinous  elements of the universal procession
                                  Wrestling with truth for the
T osticated  hearts of human discretion
                                   To discover the treasured verse
E ssorant  and winged with obsession
                                    To forever hold fervor as the
D electus  of beauty, gratitude and compassion
