Damn I'M Good/ A Poet's Ego Poem by Harry J. Couchon Jr

Reading all the poetry I've written through the years
I'm delighted with how good they are, each and every one
Whether they shine with love or are flavored with tears
I'll never stop being a poet because it's so much fun

Reading over my latest, damn I'm good
I can't wait to read this one before an audience
I've got a swelled ego, as well I should
And I owe it to the open reading experience

There was a part of me, which I never knew about
Until I met my love who helped me discover
That I could write poetry that could whisper or shout
Now as long as I live I'll remain a poetry lover

My first poems, now they weren't bad at all
And with every one that followed my talent grew
Now I'm glad I answered poetry's call
And when I say 'Damn I'm Good', I know it's true
