Heslopian

What do I think when I think of him?
A poet who doesn't mess with words
and an ability to be normal.
Each day I await his poems,
with dread, envy and annoyance  
in unequal parts. Why?
He always writes about himself
yet it touches you too.
He always seem to underplay
himself. Undercut and attack too.
Yet then comes out on top.
To me he's above me
yet he thinks little of himself?
Learned, intelligent, able; he'd
never use these words himself
of course not. Yet thats how
I describe him.
 
What is it to be Heslopian?
It is to be a self-critic
yet a master yourself.
 
 
What is it to be Viddaxian?
Much more yet so much less than Heslopian
I'll explain it some day.
