One word -
Las Vegas...
Okay, that's two words....but anyways, I want you to write about sin city
Just tell me about the magic and mystery in Las Vegas...the casinos, the lights, the gambling, the entertainment, the fun, the city where things start happening in the dullest of lives....don't leave out the other side of LV, though...the seemingly never ending droughts, the drugs...
Tell me about the Sins of Las Vegas
Would you want to live there? Or not?
The third in the Cityscape Series

That said, congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone else...your poems helped me gain perspective on Sin city

I have removed my poem from this contest. It is now six days since closing and the entries have not been reviewed by the contest host.Perhaps you've gone to Las Vegas yourself and forgotten about all else. Would not be the first time.
