It doesn't give us a new clue, but it does confirm an old clue. Each time a clue was correctly solved, we had confirmation from Cassie so far.

also- it seems to confirm the idea that the pictures do all correspond to a 5 W's, 1 H questions, and it shows us which pic definitely corresponds to which poem. which can hopefully help us in interpreting the poems now that the solutions are basically confirmed.

Good job, I was looking for someone to post the solved anagrams over it...Now we know who, what, when, where, why, and how...Now somebody just needs to figure out what someone in LA needs to do.

I was working on that - It's the WHERE part we are missing.

I'm sure there's another encoded anagram in the line SO DEPICTS A ROSE IN SOIL FENCED, because that line is so forced and unnatural, and it begins with an anagram of CODES TO SERAPIS (SO DEPICTS A ROSE). We know CODES (IN/TO) SERAPIS is Cassie code for "anagram follows", just like it was for the last line of verse 6 SERAPIS CODES, | HI NOVICE, WAIT which we could further translate to CASSIE PROSED | A VOICE WITHIN, pointing to the blog space.

We were discussing it here but things seem to have got a bit of track with discusions of Rose Hills Memorial Garden. I can't see the answer being that, because the ROSE should not be in plain view in the answer - it should be scrambled.

I still think there's more to find here, but unless Cassie gives us another clue I don't think we'll get it.

I think this will either turn out to be another reference to the blog page OR more likely it is a pointer at another drop point and we'll find ourselves back here later.

Of course the other alternative is I could be completely mistaken - but Cassie's poetry always sounds spot on to me, and this last line troubles me.

I don't know if this is where I should put this,but I figured since you guys were puzzling over the "depicts a rose in soil fenced" line that it might be useful to you. I did a little bit of googling and somewhere in Southern California there's a place called Exposition Park which houses a Rose garden. Apparently it's a pretty famous one because most of the links on the first page of the google search were about it. It could be a long shot or just another trout but I just wanted to throw it out there in case it might give someone else an idea.

The exact google search I used.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=& ... ose+garden

The LAParks.Org Rose Garden page.
http://www.laparks.org/exporosegarden/rosegarden.htm

EDIT: And "rose in soil fenced" can be anagramed to some pretty interesting stuff. "One Considers Life" is one of them and makes me wonder if it is perhaps a cemetary as someone suggested before. I can't find the reference but it was Rose Cemetary or something like that.

EDIT AGAIN: Wow I is so smart... *headesk* The comment about the Rose Hills Memorial Garden is in the post right above this one.

that's not a bad idea, actually.
