that was the working theory, based on the fact lower left ends "Eleven days, eleven days" 
Edit: Guys - I don't think we're making much progress here? Sorry, but I'm not adding to the summary anything which doesn't fit with the upper right picture? Anyone disagree?

| Yikes, when I just jotted down "closed nine", I pictured a partially closed golf course drop. |

Please remember, based on the crib:
ED SHIN SIT | BE SINGING HIS NIT
this is end | this is beginning
we think that each half of each line is reversed. So the start of line 4 can probably only be IT not IF. |

Can you take a chill pill? Your complaints take up more room than wrong guesses. |

The cup still hold for you to find
The danger where we'll tie her kind
Cross it so deep a lion is fenced
Up there his act not yet commenced
So type the poem yield end for end
The gate inside you will defend
It matches the middle (edit) [poem image], except for the second line, which now I'm not so sure of.

It depends on which section the 'A' is, but
A CEDE RIPOSTS SO | CEDE IF NIL NOS
It proceeds as so, is lion fenced?
You have the It as the first word, and still keeps the 'lion' thing folks seem to be all cheery about. |

EDIT: NO WAY, missing letters. Sorry about that. |

What is with the lion - where does that come from?

in order to rhyme with "commenced", the only possible word is "fenced" according to AnagramArtist. "Lion is" follows from that conjecture. Up one branch of logic has us reword "commenced," but the two just go together so nicely, and a fenced lion in a garden is a definite WHERE

Based on a very slim interpretation of the picture it would look like, if line 3 is THE PICTURE then line 4 should begin IT followed by an ascender? D is the only one we have? |

but maybe the garden is WHERE the "killer wined". and it seems to me that a letter has been flipped from one side to the other.
We have IT .... | ... FENCED quite probably. The rest, i don't know. |
