#5—Clue 19: WHERE Poem - 10/2/06
6 lines; lines rhymed in pairs. (AA BB CC DD…)
FORMAT: Morse code translated into mostly real words/proper names mixed with perhaps an occasional gibberish word (and they were all pronounceable). Example: CONCEDE TEN TOM MY A TETCHIER PUSH = THE PICTURE HAS NOT YET COMMENCED; the original words-per-line count DIDN’T match the number of words in each of the lines as de-anagrammed.
Solution:
Inside the gate you will defend
the doe-eyed moppet’s only friend
The picture has not yet commenced
so depicts a rose in soil fenced (earlier version: I tossed a corpse in soil fenced - 1 less syllable)
The garden where the killer wined
Still holds the cup for you to find
Original Morse code:

ed shin sit | be singing his nit
