49er Nuggets are poems of 49 syllables arranged in 13 lines of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 5 4 3 2 and 1 syllables, stating a 'nugget' of wisdom, perspective, insight, information, etc. preferably with a twist. A proper Nugget is to be Titled with a word-twist of some variety as well. I 'invented' the form in Dec, 2004.
Here are a three examples:
ore naught
why would I e’er attempt to make a mark? is there a purpose? should I merely aim to spread a little serendip? it teases me to forge limp, bleating poems seeming pointless ‘till they wake renewed Light

in form I’ll query
Why would I want to kill ambition’s will by ripping form up; would this freedom limit me or others banging heads to get our feelings down in printed booklets, each with pages bound in one accord, no?

‘s no fun
snow falling’s delightful if you see clear across your driveway or don’t work this morning or have waked at a ski lodge but if you’ve got two feet and wife says ‘shove it’ it just feels cold as it blows on red nose

Have fun!
deLightingly, Daniel

Sorry Daniel, didn't mean to be so obtuse. Yes, it was a reach but I hope my explanation will clarify. To start, WADS WORTH denotes what numerous wads of paper would be worth in breaking possible falls. If there are enough of them, they will pile up around your desk to cushion and to keep your face or butt from hitting the floor. The ending, "no harm site" denotes the areas around your desk where falls may occur and which are covered by ripped up and wadded pieces of paper. I know it is based on a cartoon picture in my mind where "foot-thick" piles of paper, "which you probably don't use", form cushions around the desk although you seem to be the type of person who makes sure everything goes in the trashcan and not on the floor. Like me, you type most, if not all your writing on the computer. I got the idea for this one from your last entry of going "kersplat" on your face or "tookis". Sorry about the confusion and hope the explanation doesn't detract too much from my efforts to amuse. Larry with a mental condition!
