Thanks, Sunray. 3 Down is also undefined. You mentioned it earlier, but I didn't know how far along you were then.

I also did not mention 3d because I started there and know what to do with it.
I am looking for definitions for other 3 (12a, 19a and 7d).

Right now the words I have are not helping me with the verse.

Oops. I meant 27d, not 7d.

12 A will rhyme with the definition for 3( and the last word of the verse, which I think you have?). The definition for 12 will provide the rhyme needed for the definition for 19.
It's hard to help as I don't know what possibilities you have.

Sorry, I was out running some errands.
Thanks for staying with me through this effort, malone.
I have all the answers.
I have a name of a country in line 1. So line 2 and 5 have to rhyme with that word.
I need line 2 ending.
I can convert No GO into two words that rhyme with line 1.
But they have to appear after the word sonnet.
But the word that appears after sonnet must be coming from 19/10.
I do not have that word.

Line 3 I believe ends in the extra word from 28/21.
So I need line 4 ending that rhymes with line 3.

The 27d means die or kill. I do not have a word that would rhyme with line 3.

Line 5's word is to be highlighted and if my guess is correct then it does rhyme with Line 1.

Hope this explains my current confusion.

Maybe my earlier help was more of a hindrance! I'll try another way...


NO Go is correct. (12 A comes before 9D).

Line 3 ends in 19 A (well, its definition)
Line 4 ends in 29 D (ditto).

There's more than one word to be highlighted for Line 5

Thanks malone.

I am still not sure of the definitions of 19a and 27D.

Sunray,

It is clear from the extra words and the rhythm that the end of line 3 (from 19A) is a number and there are two syllables (actually two words) needed at the end of line 4 (from 27d). So you need lateral thinking with the definition of 27d to get the right words.

Also Malone's hint about more than one word being highlighted is a pointer to the number at the end of line 3.
