0 plainglazed Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 uncertain was okay? Am so sorry chicory, had mistakenly thought all your answers above were about the first line. Your response concerning line two is relevent; just needs some more play. This line is even more like the *quickies* of before. The rest of your guesses are not on track. But these should become much easier after you get the first two words and make the connection. Then you may have some ideas of the others and be able to work backwards.

0 plainglazed Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 is the fifth oneshort? Yes, if you are referring to the actual length of what the fifth one refers. No, if you're saying the fifth one means short somehow. Man, I hope that does not confuse further..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 is the fifth oneshort? I did it again. Dont know what's with me and misunderstanding which line you are referring to. Assumed this time you were referring to *the fifth* in the clue for the second word. As for: short epigram? or is there such a thing as gram (graham) cake?

0 plainglazed Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 lies= isle No, the second and third couplets are independent (represent two different words) hence the period. ...about the third and fourth, but still, each couplet will be a word and all of those somehow share a connection.

0 plainglazed Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Easter Isle lies short epigram Am obviously having trouble keeping up. Most simply, each two lines will translate into one word except the last pair of lines which tell you to find the connection between the five words. have established lies/lie/lying for *not the truth* but needs further manipulation as directed by the rest of the wording in this pair. lies, short, epigram are not on track.

0 plainglazed Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 another possibilitymaybe Salvation Army? Trade in Kind: Salvation - saving, rescue, redemption, pardon Very logical but not going where I'm coming from...I would suggest concentrating on the second pair of lines. You, like chicory, already have the *root* word and just need to make a connection and follow the directions in the rest of those two lines.

Question
plainglazed
Could be the perfect storm
But no, not either or.
And for not telling the truth
I've plead the fifth before.
'Cause in your local armory
You might swap me in kind,
For this life line's no aid;
Is another way to find.
A forceful piece that's constant
Carved a slice of special cake.
Put it all together and
Some sense of this you'll make.
