A FORTY~NINER ~ Refers to anyone who participated in the 1849 California Gold Rush ! Most of them did NOT strike it rich ! It refers to someone like MIM who has *Good Prospects* but hits a snag ! The poem has a Diamond Shape (another elusive commodity) because of the syllable pattern 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (which adds up to 49) In the example the Poem is composed from monosyllabic words capitalised to enhance the Diamond Shape of the Poem ~ why not try one ! Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛

TO WORK COS HER

MIM ~ SHE*S IN A REAL FIX
COS HER BOSS IS THE
SON ~ OF THE MAN
WHO OWNS FIRM
WHERE MIM
WORKS !
