Thank you Daniel. I know you can do single acrostics and the double is not that much more difficult.

NUGGETS OF GOLD – WON’T BE LOCATED INSANE IN SEINE New use to gather in gold and its dust escapes when I rub tailings through a steel sieve; searching for dregs that I feel others have dismissed so finds from the skeptic give the aura of hope that leaves me drained No corpse as of yet. Nowadays, I feel like that until I get my ine fix in the morning; caffeine and nicotine. I have a tentative list of participants in the contest whom I feel are deserving of awards. As you said, we'll discuss that tomorrow. The difficulty in this contest still persists. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

What is interesting about your REMARKABLE "Nugget" is that it can serve as a metaphor for what we'll be doing over the next couple of days, discerning the GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE poems, plus the HM's! It will be a daunting task... and I hope you're doing the initial judging so we can discuss further. deLightingly, Daniel

Daniel, how perspicacious of you to recognize the metaphor. Deciding on the awards was the impetus and inspiration for the Nugget. Straining them all through the proverbial sieve to find the gold was very difficult/impossible!

Well, we made it through, and I think everyone was reasonably satisfied... and I think folks appreciated the either 2500 or 2900 points! (Those who didn't get the 400 from the HM, I sent the full 2900, so everyone got the same).

Daniel, thank you for your final question. It struck me as humorous and struck my muse to bring forth another double acrostic Nugget for your perusal. Enjoy!
