Reviewing the three hints so far and the first two didn't help me, the third one helped find the poem and the fourth one (3 trues and 1 lie) seems more helpful than the first two. I'm curious if people found the first two useful? For example, why is this poem special out of the 1000+ this guy cranked out back in the day?
The use of the phrase 'lordy lordy' as a hint twice jumps out as well but again nothing clicking yet.

I don't see why the first two hints didn't help you. Especially the second clue that literally tells you the theme is not Star Trek. |

If it isn't Star Trek themed then the statue is irrelevant right? Don't confuse theme and clue. Isn't the theme supposed to be Valentine, heart, roses... perhaps wedding venue? |

Doh, I had forgotten about the vulcan text hint on two. That was very helpful of course, and was seemingly emphasized by today's post. The first hint I was assuming is helpful after some initial solving was done. Did it get you to the poem? I am missing the "connection between
two things, one of which should be obvious."

Maybe there is a Playfair cipher hidden somewhere.
In Hint #2: Until then a clarification might be ‘fair’.
In Three Truths and a Lie: It’s time to ‘play fair’ and not keep primary things hidden forever.

Agreed on the playfair. I can't figure out where to apply it though.

Has anyone figured out where to use the playfair yet?

HINT 5. I think this one stumped me more then helped. We already knew about the to Anthea poem. Are we supposed to glean colors from it? I honestly have no ideas to share yet.

Perhaps find the subtle differences between the print and typed versions.
Second "Three Truths & a Lie":
C. It’s probably fine if you use a modern typeset version of the Herrick poem.
Lie?

Lie? yes I did notice that this poem is different. One thing that stood out is it has the smile face and the first letters are set differently. |

Not a smiley face! Happened to have parentheses around "half the day:".
Also the semicolons appear to be colons like the cipher codes.
1st word "Come" seem to have the o also capitalized. So the cap letters spell out COAL. Is that a coal state like OK?
Take Robert from Robert Herrick and add Indiana map you get Robert Indiana. Happened to have a LOVE sculpture in Norman OK at OU.
It's blue and red.

Just one more thing!
"Already" again. So let me "address" that.
"Fuss" and "Flame" are capitalized.
What about 3's?
3 C's in the poem (3rd letter of alphabet): Come, Chains, Captive.
3 ":" colons.
3 old-timey s's that look like "f": push-pin, sweet, transfusing. Fufing is close to fussing.
How about fweet?! Google says it's a song by Wil "Burns".
W3W maybe afoot!

In Three Truths and a Lie: It’s time to ‘play fair’ and not keep primary things hidden forever. The cross may be a hint for "Lord" Playfair. If it isn't, however, then "lordy, lordy" certainly is. |

I have playfaired everything I can think of and can't find anything. I tried both the cupid poem and Anthea. The other poem that has the smiley face is To Fortune. I even tried that. I believe the smiley face is important, especially when Sam said the only thing we need for the To Anthea poem is the FACE of it. |
