YGO Card Name Game

A Shakespearean sonnet:

  • Did Mister Winston Churchill help you find
    A clue, a quote, direction where to look
    Or how instead, to read the clue aligned?
    Ask when the desert countries have been took.

    For young writers this is simple homework
    You might have written blank verse, though
    All small lines, not iambic verse
    One word only; each some info.

    Edgar authored many cryptic stories
    Sarah's an enigma to decipher
    A challenge too lies here within like she
    Read along and you will find the answer
    Here, The riddle's answer that you covet
    Is concealed within this puzzling sonnet.​

I had a feeling DBG would do something like this...now to decipher this riddle...

I assume you mean Edgar Allen Poe and as for the other, her name is slipping off my tongue right now, I want to say shes poet.
Blank verse without the iambic, so meaning just pentameter?
One word only, meaning the clue is just a single word?

This is as far as my brain will allow me to go tonight, so I ll guess Solomn's Lawbook and Mystic Probe for kicks :)
 
dang, you beat me to it... Im going with Jud's guess with Solomon's Lawbook.....

But for sake of making an educated guess, i would say it could also be the raven
Yata-Garasu

eventhough Poe and Sarah, should refer to "To Helen", but I honestly cant think of what card that could possiblly relate to....
 
hmmm... the desert countries were taken in 1943..... Churchill and Patton have both spoken of the Art of war.....
Poe, the Book Farm...
and the middle quatrain could refer to one single word without much meaning, like a place holder (ie: the, of ) or it could mean that word is a secret....
not only that, but this card has a picture of a book and a Feather as a writing utensil.. which reminds me of Shakespeare and Poe's time.... (im sure they didnt have ball point pens quite yet.. lol)
Or I could be way off

Book of Secret Arts
 
Although the afrika corps were not defeated completely until May 13th the first quatrain points to a time before that. Of course countries doesn't necessarily mean "nations" so I might not be looking for a complete victory, but rather a significant one.

Book of Secret Arts: no

So I assume you are referring to El-Alamein or however you spell it?
 
El alamein: yes (but not necessarily to-the-day)

Note: Churchill did not call it the Battle of El Alamein, so you might have to find different words to search for)
 
Chaos End: No
Chaos Emp Dragon: No

Yes i think you might have the first quatrain somewhat figured out (not exactly though).

But now what about the other 2 quatrains?

(These 2 guesses are not close to the answer, though.)
 
Yeah, all I really know is that Churchill referred to that battle as "the beginning of the end." But does this have to do with the card's name directly or metaphoricly? Could that possibly be Helen of Troy in the third quatrain?
 
Awwwwwwww, I thought I was going on the right track. :frown_jed
EDIT:
Winston Churchill said:
"Now this is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

That should be the correct quote, I must have read it incorrectly.
 
Edited my last reply to fix my error. Time to look into the other clues. But first, is each quatrain supposed to lead to one word in the card's name?
 
Some small observations thus far: your poem is not in blank verse and the form of poetry you're referring to in quatrain 2 may be trochee, if it is not iambic.
 
Yes, my poem is definitely not in blank verse.

Your poem might be, though.

Traditionally a sonnet is supposed to be iambic entirely, but to many people, trochee is perfectly acceptable, as the same rhythm is there.

One word only might refer to your poem, not mine.

Helen of Troy: No
Kaiser Colloseum: No

Yes. that's exactly what the first quatrain refers to.
