Save



Streets crowded with aspiration and excitement Wandering haplessly looking for that next chance Achieve the goal not found in the valleys and plains Silver or skin the choice is up to you Stiletto heels end the journey of long, curvaceous legs Lining barstools and street corners wet with desire Not by trade but alcohol-infused Midwestern girls Searching for their high-roller ticket to life Beer bottles lay scattered about empty Contents drowning the losses of the masses Tight mini�s and push-up bras tantalizing loins Searching for a spot in the shadows for a rise Silver strikes metal for the few and far between Others put life savings on the line stupidly risking it all Reality hits when their ride home rolls away with the dice Searching the glow of neon lights for answers unknown Sin city what happens there stays there Sin city say I do with the gear in drive Sin city party all night and forget it hours later Sin city an escape so its alright

Anne, this was an excellent write. I lived in Reno, and have visited Las Vegas many times. My second child was born in Reno, and I helped pave many of roads between Northern California thru and down to Sin City. Love the town, although I am not a gambler, I only went to the casinos a couple of times to watch the shows there and while I lived in Reno. Still have family and friends living in Reno, and scattered throughout the U.S., but one of these days I�m going back to Reno and build my dream home on Geiger Grade over looking the valley. Love reading your work. If I were a faster typist, I�d be able to keep up with everyone�s posts I enjoy reading. Don�t worry, I shall return to your remarkable Den, Poet. Have an easy day.

Excellent description of a city I know is dear to you. Definitely sinful. *wink* *wink* Love the images brought to life in this.
