Dear Editor
Dear Editor
I enclose a list
of 27 journals, both online and offline
in which I have had my work published
continuously since 1978
I am sure that you will agree
that my work represents a significant development
on the work of Ted Hughes
who inspires me constantly
like a candle in the darkness
May I just add
that my wife and I
desperately enjoyed your reading
to our group in Hythe last month,
if only you could have read for longer
It’s so rare these days
to get the chance to experience a reading
by a real poet, with a genuine passion for the craft
Indeed, I hope you won’t be offended if I mention
that your blouse was delightfully appropriate
for the occasion
Please let me know when my poems will be published
I attach a picture of myself in the garden

There is something cyclically bizarre here, or just ironic in that the poem is a letter to an editor regarding submission. Daring new stuff.
In the fifth stanza, we see the hints of a different motive--if for a second.
At the end, I could see that you could make the last stanza as a postscript just to keep the theme here consistent.
Otherwise, this one is perfect, as is.
Look forward to reading more.
