Hollywood, what's your dream? Anything goes in Hollywood. Well written Ronald, I can see your a man of great versatility, thanks for sharing your talent, have a great day xo

You have "It" in my book.
Much enjoyed.

A fun blend of humor and metaphor, Ron. Peace... r

Well done. Just when I wonder if anything really unique will come along, you pull it off.

Funniest part of all, for me, are those last three lines.
Thanks for sharing!

Can't say I ever had the desire to become a denizen of Hollyweird. My dream always involved grand opera houses, starting in that eastern counterpart to Hollyweird, New York. Well done!

fun loved this you are creative imaginative, rocks rolls

A little piece of everyone's fantasy packed into a stylish, rhyming quatrains. Nicely done. John

Interesting that I've been using "Hollyweird" for years when writing poetry about the place. Your depiction is spot one,and your line "see you in my dreams" is how after spending 50 years in that Hollyweird, I can honesty say (save my son, who after 30 years of "talent" success has been able to avoid the BS and just work with his abilities) normal Hollyweird ia a charade the public still remains enthralled with. Just around the corner, however, is the Hollyweird revolution: Pacino's "Simone" as the standard, removing all but technicians from the craziness. As you say in your disclaimer, far too many no talent patients actually aspire living in the "Hollywood Hills.)

I'd settle for charisma as an author! But then again, I've got my eye on film adaptation of my novel. As long as I don't have to be part of the Hollywood climb. Others can do that.

Loved the poem! It rocks!

Great fun write........at least we still have freedom of speech! Some people just can't lighten up. 'Enjoyed this a lot.

Love ya!

ENJOYED, RONALD. YOUR RHYME, RHYTHM AND PHRASES ARE RIGHT ON TIME...AS PER USUAL. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATION.

Since when do you of all people have to explain yourself to anyone that comments. Alot of humor you are bringing to the fold of late & for this I am thankful, as I never tire of your humor. -e-

Excellent write that could just as easily be about sports, and the business that chews up athletes and spits them out in the name of the almighty dollar.

Folks, I am writing in the first person but not about me. I am writing about all the Hollywood wannabes that get ground up in the grist that is show business.

As for running for president, it was metaphorical. Implying that stardom makes it much easier to be recognized and elected to high office. I do recall when people said that if Walter Cronkite ran for president he would easily make it. He was a very good newsreader. But people sensed that he had good character. That's why they voted for Kennedy, Reagan, Eisenhower, perhaps Bill Clinton, and definitely, Obama. Stardom and charisma go hand in hand.

I never ran for anything because I don't have "it."

Ron

In your dreams! But over here in the UK (Scotland) there is talk of yet another presidential assassination due.

Why not? Run, then. The world has changed. You might get in, but the man in the White House now might be impossible to be kicked out.
