How to solve the poetry puzzle?
A poem that doubles as a long cryptic clue. A cryptic crossword masquerading as a poem.

Crypoetic #2
A puzzle poem that challenges your wits and humanity’s use of animals. The answer relates to a recent vegan news story.
Two down… many to go
Two shining beacons
where the young
are rising up. First,
on the Welsh border,
if tors inobtrusively
shattered; then,
Brian May’s old digs
unravelled: O, pre-
millennial eco gold!
Cracked it?
