Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a form of poetry
I realise the puzzle title is a bit obscure; but jump into the puzzle and you will quickly see where I'm going with this one. Best of luck as you seek the answer to the meta, which is a form of poetry. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=170656#p170656
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
