Hollywood Encounter
Eight years ago today
I remember it quite well
I met my true love in Tinsel Town
Against the back wall
our eyes ultimately met
and I succumbed to her spell
A brief hello, a robust embrace,
and a kiss to last a lifetime
——
A true story.
Linked to dVerse Poets Pub — Quadrille #142, where Mish is hosting and asked us to pen a quadrille using the word tinsel.

Quadrille: A poetic form introduced at dVerse Poets Pub circa 2011. The rules for Quadrille: not including the title, a poem of exactly 44 words using the prompt word or its variant.
Wow… I had forgotten that name for Hollywood… how very apt for you
What a great memory and of course, Tinsel Town is the perfect use of the prompt!

Electric moments that last a lifetime, even if they are only in the movies. I had also forgotten Hollywood’s nickname!
Yes, but this one was not in the movies.
Congratulations to you and your lady love.
Oh I wondered if someone would go to Tinsel Town. Let the memory shine forever…..
the kiss to last a lifetime – is so wonderful, it makes me forget that name for Hollywood right away again 🙂 – thanks so much Ron
Thanks Barbara
Romantic indeed!
Sounds like a great encounter in tinsel town. Nicely done quadrille.
Indeed, it was great.
I love the kiss to last a lifetime! That seals the deal! Well done.
Thanks Dwight
You are welcome.
An encounter of the best kind, I enjoyed this Ron!
Finally, one about Tinsletown. If I wasn’t roasting it, I was going to go that direction. Much enjoyed. Super clever.
Thanks K
When dreams come true in tinsel town, it’s usually on celluloid or digital: which makes this true love story all the more wonderful. Congratulations to you and your bride, Ron.

Nothing less than wonderful, this. Love it.

Some sweet kiss, Ron! I see we were both focused on Tinsel Town.
