The Poet Smithy

A cryptic conversation
Between the Silent Generation
Passing over a dinner table...
A retelling of Tchaikovsky's ballet...
Smithy has talent.
Though, he's pursuing vain persons...
And until he stops, he will never succeed.
A good poet... but following after
The coattails of pedants
Will never win the Crown.
Simply don't play the game.
Then, you already have won.
