Contest announcement says: Write a poem where each line begins with a letter of the alphabet. Go in order using all the letters from A - Z. Can you do it?
There are several problems here. The alphabet in order is ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. This poem seems to be missing the L line, O line and W line. The Q, and S lines are out of order. Maybe you still have time to fix it.

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Writer,
Well. Hmm.. I guess I appreciate the creativity? But there is just so much going on here - first I have to wonder if you took the time to look at this piece after it was posted. Evil Eddie has visited and done his work, leaving lots of those extra symbols throughout this post that need to be removed. Please always make it a point to look at a post to see what your readers are going to see - do not take anything for granted, right?
Next, most of the entries in the contest have some sort of 'theme'. Your alphabetic list seeeeeeems to be really just a random lost of words and concepts from A-Z. Examples:
Angela
Friendship
Golf
Japan
Satanic
Whatever
X-Files
Yes
What? What do those things have in common? If you'll take a look at any of the other entries - do this by going back to the contest page and scrolling to the bottom where you'll see a list of the entries - you will see that most of the ones that are finished have some kind of thread that the reader can follow and understand. Does that make sense?
And finally - your format is just wrong. I'm so sorry to tell you. But the contest calls for 26 lines. Period. Quatrains aren't part of the contest description and I'm afraid the CEC will flag you and get you to redo this anyway or step out. Here's fair warning so you can go ahead and do so OR have a Plan B ready.
So sorry to be the bearer of so much bad news. I hope there will be something here to help, though, so your money won't be wasted. Good luck!

You wrote some interesting quatrains, Mystery Author, for your contest entry I enjoyed reading them. However, this isn't the style required. You could use some of the info and revise. You need to use EACH letter A-Z in order with one line for each. I believe you can revise and add on. Best wishes. I rate 5 because I believe you will revise.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
