Amazing construction- that must have take an age!!! Thanks Ben
Of course I tried to enter the entire poem as my answer... apparently Crosshare has a 100 character limit on meta answers! LOL. Very impressive puzzle, Ben, thank you.
I was wondering if anyone would do that. At the 11th hour I considered changing the meta prompt to say "poem title", but decided it would be too much work! :D
BRILLIANT construction. Never heard of the poem but I LIKE it. Great job Ben, and probably not a 4 because when you look for the X there is really only one place to look that makes sense. Thanks for the addition to my education, that is twice now. You are patching any cracks in my knowledge with gold....
Happy to oblige! Once a teacher, always a teacher... :D

Wow. I’m impressed.

NOW I see why the clues were so weird!
My path to solving was just thinking about the classic treasure map line, “X marks the spot.” The center of the grid looks X-ish, then I thought to read the 2 big diagonal lines and that was that. Thanks for making me feel clever… but not as clever as this construction!
Hee hee, and there I was hoping to make the clues seem as "normal" as possible (that is, as normal as MOAT clues get!) :D
HeadinHome 🤓5:10 · circa un anno fa
Well just SOME were weird, or at least oddly specific.. 17A, 30A, 41A (“lucid, mentally”, where just lucid would do).
whimsy 🤓16:33 · circa un anno fa
Well, I actually found easter eggs/bunny trails that waylaid me. ROLLCALL, SPACEK, SUSS, ASST, and AAAS? Drop a bit of the ending (or not) and stick in an X -- you get ROLEX, SPACEX, SUSSEX, ASTEX (Aztecs) and AAASEX (Asics). So I hunted for sneakers and watches etc. for a while. And in the clues? 42A = UNIX, 27 D = ANTIX (Antics). But I knew it had to be tighter and much better than that -- and it was! Impressive, Ben -- Thanx!
also, lol, I did in fact try the first letter of every clue
Laura M 🤓17:37 · circa un anno fa
Very impressive! I needed the hints, I was trying to find small Xs in the grid somehow but I hadn't considered the full diagonals.
KayW 🤓8:23 · circa un anno fa
Wow!!! Amazing construction - the diagonals and then wording all the clues. Well done, Ben. Thanks!
I was so far out in left field on this one. I got fixated on the surf/shore concept. I found all the locations in the clues/entries (Morocco, Ballyduff, Alloa, Moscow, Cali, Miami) and tried to find beaches or bodies of water associated with them. I also tried playing with the clues/entries that had X's in them. That got me nowhere fast.

wow! what great construction, Ben! I came back to this one today after setting it down after being stuck initially...with a couple of your hints, I was able to get to the finish.
