That's some seriously bad poetry. You do realize, don't you, that subjective evaluations of art forms are insignificant?

There is no way to verify that the person who is responding to you here on Usenet wrote those books, so feel free to question that it's me. It's not as though it matters. >That certainly applies to books out of print You suggested that I might be ashamed of my books. Ashamed? no, but the fact is that I've taken them out of print because I was not happy with my writing. It's my nature to be dissatisfied with myself and my accomplishments. I don't believe that there's anything I've done that I couldn't have done better. I tend to be seeking to improve on what I am going to do, rather than seeking acceptance and approval for what I've done. >with fewer than a dozen reviews, Like I said, I'm not John Steinbeck. >written by someone whose name >apparently does not match yours. I prefer anonymity. I expected that you wouldn't understand that. >You'd have done better to claim your pen name was Stephen King. At least >the reviews would have been better. Naw, Stephen King sucks. Steinbeck is exceptional. Those subjective evaluations are insignificant, too.
