The morning routine for me used to consist of two cups of coffee, four desperately needed cigarettes, and the cryptic crossword from The Daily Telegraph; nowadays I am trying to cut down my coffee intake, I no longer smoke, and I can’t afford a daily newspaper – but thanks to Write Out Loud – I can still do a cryptic puzzle AND get a prize for solving it.

If you can complete this month’s cryptic poetry puzzle before Friday, 29^th October, you should email you solutions to dermot@writeoutloud.netand your solution will then be entered into a draw for a £10 Waterstone’s voucher – simple!

You can find the poetry puzzle, complete with instructions on how to complete it, in our features section or by following this link:

Winners will be announced in our November Edition. Good Luck!
