Pre-write Panorama

DISCLAIMER: Note that if you are removed from the contest because you went over the line limit, know that your entry WILL NOT be commenting on. Therefore, arguing with the judges’ final decision will be pointless.


What we are looking for is 15 lines of well penned poetry……

…Not three to fourteen ….or sixteen and up…..FIFTEEN LINES only

By the way, this is a pre-write contest for pre-writes only

But keep in mind that our commenting will be honest and straightforward


Rules are simple:

Legibility in font and background

Label accordingly

2 entries per person

Do NOT enter anything myself or Celticmoon may have commented on in the past/present

And most importantly, IMPRESS US


(extra 10 points if you go cricket)


If you have entered Celticmoon’s Pre-write Mania 1 or Pre-write Mania 2, you cannot enter the contest as they have been previously commented on from both of us!

If both of your entries was removed, you cannot re-enter with a fresh entry.

    Would you be kind enough to explain the term "go cricket"?

      The term 'cricket' which was coined by myself and and Celticmoon, is a phrase where a write leaves us practically speechless- void of speech because the write was that good
