dear anita;
the most recent poem
you sent
is one of the best things
youve ever written.
its got heart and soul,
intelligence,
warmth and wit.
its got
everything
my poetry seems to lack.
please
dont write to me again.
i dont need to be
constantly reminded
that at times my poetry
is worthless and pedestrian
that my subject matter is limited.
in fact,
your poem crosses over
onto my side of the street
and youve done it
so much better than me,
limiting my subject matter
even more.
i dont need
the competition.
if you write to me again
ill refuse to open your letter.
im taking your books
down off my shelf
and throwing them out.
from here on in
im only going to read
writers who have been dead
40 years or more.
at least with them
ill have
a fighting chance.

I guess that's what you call a "profound influence" on someone.
I've always thought the main thing about writing is the sense of achievement, for me it is anyway.It's nice when people make good comments about it but if we have to have our ego's stroked all the time it's missing the point.
That said, nice work
