At dVerse Mish is hosting the Quadrille (44 words) with an invitation to write about Tinsel.
dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Tinsel
“Tinsel in February, tinsel in August. there are things in a man besides his reason.” Wallace Stevens
But In Just The Right Light Some people speak only self-referentially without a thought for others , their judgements of kitsch, or gaudy, or gauche can wound, but in just the right light at just the right time, tinsel can light the heart; I like mine with a tinge of blue.
