I think that FHH thinks we're being rather obtuse. 🤣🤣 Not at all! It's always easy from my end, where I already know the answer!
I'll be posting a clue a day until it is solved. I promise, tomorrow's clue will be different!  |

Looks like a Vigenere Square, finding it very hard to decode  |

Just to show you the cool directions that have been taken and the diverse rabbit holes hunters have gone down, here is a sampling of submissions I've had so far. None are correct, but they fit the spaces, and the hunters who discovered them found connections to the poem :-)
Hurram Uxor or Haseki Uxor (same person, different title)... Known as: The Cheerful One
Martha Kent... Known as:The Superman Mom
Barsky, Jack...Known as: KGB American Spy
Virgin Mary...Known as: New Covenant Ark
From an Ottoman Sultan to Superman to a German KGB spy to the Virgin Mary herself!
I am impressed!
Keep hunting - the answer is out there!

I have a winner for first prize!
Congratulations to this super sleuth who chased many rabbits down many holes, but never gave up, and eventually found the answer!
There are still two more prizes up for grabs, so don't give up!
I will post the prizes and the names of the winners after all three prizes have been claimed.
Again, so exited someone solved the hunt and I look forward to more submissions!
-FHH

Ok, then I'll stop with every opposite keyword I can think of ;-)
