Las Vegas

Las Vegas 


 Three layers of clouds
  On a paranormal sky of multicoloured insanity 
  In Las Vegas, god and devil merged
  Into one identity

So jolly Saint Nick
Will be today's Pick
If Santa Claus will lend him his sleigh

Dirty Trick

Magician Whizdo had a Vegas act
he pulled a Great Dane out of a hat.
One night the dog had the urge
he sprinkled the crowd with a surge.
Whizdo escaped town and won't be back.

Las Vegas Strip Spraying

Las Vegas Strip Spraying

Last night there was a strip spraying;
Bullets were straying and bodies laying;
Agony there,
And despair;
We wonder what message this is saying.

Las Vegas Win

Las Vegas, big win. The coins are flying.
Casino is broke. Heart attacks. Someone's dying.
On Power Plant two teenagers were playing.
With buttons and wires, just pushing and cutting ;-D

Listening To Las Vegas Sherriff

Listening To Las Vegas Sherriff

Time as usual has been passing by,
Under lonely and sad Las Vegas Sky;
Flowers found,
On the ground;
Still are three left we did not identify.

Premium Member Luckiest woman in Las Vegas

she finds a four-leaf clover almost every day
discovers dimes on gray sidewalks lining her way
quarters shower her during a visit to Casino Green
She is the luckiest woman Las Vegas has ever seen

Fifty Nine New Stars In Vegas Sky

Fifty Nine New Stars in Vegas Sky

Saw fifty nine new stars in Vegas sky;
They are a new part of God's supply;
Loved so much;
Thrilled to touch;
All went to heaven after they did die.

Icy branches
Crack in rhythm
Snap, pop, pop.
Laughing limbs swing
Unawares.
Hate strikes.
Bodies 
Lie crumpled.
Eagles soar
Then dive.
Stiffened wings are
Vultures carrion.
Bodies lie
Trampled,
Insides torn outside.

Premium Member Only In Las Vegas

Las Vegas' rushed pace was upsetting,
Which left a gambler dazed and sweating,
At the fast evening’s end
Met he a posh girlfriend...
They wed quickly through drive-in betting!

Vegas Underground

Distinction
without difference

Where shadows
defame

Laughter
without smiles

Embodied
in shame

Each story
redundant 

Whose print
stays uninked

As eyes
search for mercy

That last
—missing link

The things I have emailed you in Vegas, are so some  joy might remain in your heart and that joy can be satisfying again.  Only by feeling my spiritual connection that can endure without doubts. Those doubts replaced instead by the love of a friend, that can't start or live without trust.

Premium Member Vegas Baby

I'm off to Vegas Baby
The city of light
In fact it's brighter
When you see it at night

Not much of a gambler
I do enjoy the sights
I don't throw away money 
That isn't very bright


I'm in Vegas so you won't see as much of me
Over the next five days. Thanks for all your 
visits and comments.

The Poet Of Las Vegas Boulevard

The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard,
steals emotion from the night

Holding a vigil in the darkness,
waiting for the light

The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard,
among the screams and homeless cries

Making rhyme of what reason has abandoned
—marking time inside the shadow of lies

Vegas

VEGAS the soft underbelly you painted it well, and brought out the sorry, and almost the smell, where the pimps n the drug dealers, glide, with some only there 4 the ride, as the waves of emotion, do tell, and others held by the spell, have their cash on the, ultimate, SLIDE Don re Debbie Duncan "Sin City"

Las Vegas 1967
Harrah’s, free drinks
Circus Circus, bring the kids
Frontier, win a Chevy

Golden Nugget, best slots
Flamingo Capri, Elvis impersonator
Caesar’s Palace, world’s best buffet

Tropicana, win big
Sahara, all day breakfast
Dunes, best shrimp cocktail thirty cents
Golden Nugget, live girls
I would certainly hope so.
