Lets see if this one lasts a bit before any clues. Thanks.

No luck so far. It's not too hard though, I'm sure someone will nail it soon enough. Where's that Super Grand Pubah guy when you need him : )

Friendless face for knuckles white Wind swept sorrow on the flight Ambassador of nearing night, Divine the heartless hearth. Seven years removed of love Locked away from those above Sole confederate, inveterate grub Tally now thy worth. Girded by the steely tail Listen to the missive wail Duty now must never fail Thy task upon the Earth. Who?

Semper takes it. Well done. (Next time a bit more difficult, eh?)

Nah. Here's a re-write. It's been awhile since I've been here and was a bit hasty without editing. Defiant of the pagan staff Hewn of righteous, saintly wrath Where sprang thereof eternal seed? Miracle born of myth indeed. Or pious priest against the true And justified in faith he knew How best relate the heavens seen Those lordly lights above that gleam? In truth the stock that props in play The plight of those in bygone day; A straightened bow, décor of feast In deference to the play of beast.

A saint defies the pagan staff Hewn of hate and righteous wrath Where sprang thereof eternal seed? A miracle born of myth indeed. Or pious bigot against the true And justified in faith he knew How best to relate the heavens seen Those lordly lights above that gleam? In truth the stock that props in play The plight of two in bygone day; A straightened bow in décor of feast In deference to the play of beast.

I haven't checked any spoilers so I don't know if this was shot down yet.

Well done Chicory, you nailed it but minus the cuts. Not needed for the effect. Bravo

Heaven's light above the mount Bridging stone and bone, Azure sky of starry fount Six streams shining down. The stuff that makes it less than pure Makes it more the worth, The purpose being but allure That only light brings forth.

I'd like to pretend "with the assist by lotus [spoiler='You bet Lotus, you were all over it. Dave B gets credit too. Explication ']I guess T-101 is too unfamiliar to most. I live 40 minutes from Taipei and can see it on a clear day from my high-rise apartment. Eight sections (Chinese 8 stands for prosperity and furtune)and the 101 has several symbolic meanings that were considered in choosing the name: Street address, New century/millenium. 100 is "perfect" number and 1 goes one better, etc. Burj is the sultan (unfinished and without a "crown" or top spire) and just topped 101 this year, only four years after 101 was completed.

I'm a slow typist, thanks to all. Cheers.

thanks Gub. And Lotus and Chess. Been occupied lately and can't really make time too much for this forum. I do appreciate your support and praise, though. Just remember, I always leave in enough clues to make it solvable with the right approach.

Pieces of eight on an island fair, Stacked and piled on high. A treasure to measure millennial birth Riches to reach the sky. Place and number all in a name Better than best by one, Four meager years upon the throne, By a sultan uncrowned undone.

I see you beat me. Thanks.

Chess Vixen nails it in record time. Well done.

Birthed in a tomb by lordly reign, Of golden seed, in secret lain. Found and bound to coffin and kin Cast from land by mortal sin. Freed of fate by gentle hand That offered love to a brother’s bane. Late the prize from giftless guest Which catches the eye in sudden death.
