Is poetry soup on vacation in Vegas

Today was a very odd day 
every comment on my poems 
were at least 3 and a half hours 
away I only posted a few today 
just to see where we were all 
going as if poetry soup took all 
of us on a wild vacation seated 
under a giant umbrella on the 
beaches of sunny California 
or perhaps strolling the casinos 
here in wee hours the alligators 
are sleeping giant egrets perched 
silence 4:31 am my peace time 
my creative time however when 
I post on soup it's 1:31 am odd 
timing I guess even poetry soup 
owners needs a vacation for Georgia 
taking us all with are we there yet 
I am so excited eating pringles
do we get free chips for 
black jack and poker tables
speaking of chips perhaps 
pringles we might get to meet 
Mr. Pringles himself I can't 
wait to check out the new 
Bellagio hotel wow I can actually 
almost hear the bells and whistles 
hitting the slots running numbers 
betting not a fan of gambling but 
since we are here and its all free 
for soupers lets do it getting to 
crowded to busy for my taste 
it's now 4:48 am here an yet the 
night is young 1:48 am Vegas 
poetry soup time this has been 
an exciting journey an yet real 
time it is indeed my coffee time 
why it's time to feed my red toy 
poodles my alarm set 5:15 am 
you guys have fun enjoy poetry 
soup in Las Vegas take lot's of 
pictures of the MGM Caio Bella

Enjoyed your poem. I tend to post at all times of the day, poetrysoup has felt different lately, like people are slowly disappearing.

Yolanda, some days the traffic seems to be off here in the soup bowl. Sometimes there are no comments or just a few. I guess summertime tends to slow it down because people are on vacation, or mothers have children at home or people are outside doing what people do in summer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Sara K
