Portrait of a Lost Poet (edit 2)

Maybe start with something like this and avoid the repetition. A five foot line of accentual verse might free you up some, and keep you from writing such phrases as "With charm he seeks to stature win."

He forgets himself, and the truth within him braised,
cast aside for sycophantic praise.
He thrives on flattery and the cheers,
impressing his admirers and his peers.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
