Around the Day in 8 Worlds

Po,
daystar thaws into his fluid bed
as hula skirts brush sandy flames,
milling over buried dinner in salt air.

Night,
roos roost ‘round rusty Rock,
a late snack, neatly stacked three-layer cake
sliced in half by her fall.

Yiea,
moonlit child snuffs out the pyre
in his dragon-head paper lamp,
wishing upon himself in her Shanghai.

Notte,
sailor-tailored boatman ushers in
his last fare, the engaged travelers,
in his Venetian gondola.

Nacht,
music is played in minuet,
closing stanza of Black Forest finale,
to echoing applause on Salzburg’s banks.

Nui,
erects the Eiffel in luminescence
under slippery beret on the artist’s easel
with each homesick tug of accordion.

Noche,
cascading rosa petals from
flamenco dancer pluck solitary guitar
while she spirals to warm her dress.

Oiche,
tallies Druid’s telling annulus
the light of another day in an
almanac of timeless moments.

And she speeds, across the Atlantic
over sunken Atlantis,
forever a step behind,
chasing his wake.

All but the last stanza starts with the local word for "night."

Hi Cleo,

I thought you were home already. I logged on early this morning and you were already there, posting a new Pandora's challenge and making replies! But then, New York is not the only place where they never sleep. What's the tag line for Vegas? What happens here stays here. I was told that by my manager once upon a business trip - after hours.

Sounds like you're having fun in Sin City, er, the adult playground of the world as they call it. Boy, talk about around the roulette wheel in 8 shades of emotion!

David

David!

Yeah, it's always HARD to adjust to the three hour time delay - seems we keep waking up at 4, thinking it's 7?  

One more day and we'll be home tomorrow night..

Ummmm - tag lines for Vegas:

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas is THE tag line..

We have some others:

Dreams stay dreams

Where dreams are nightmares in disguise

Lost Wages

Travel the World in a day  

Showgirls and more......  

Don't bet the farm on that machine!

Sports book is fun to watch! and we did that with the Red Sox yesterday - GO SOXS! Lot's of Sox fans here amazing to us as Anaheim is right next door practically!  

Tee hee! Anyway - you have to maintain a chipper outlook here and only bring what you can afford to lose, that is our motto. Don't think you're gonna win and you'll be pleasantly surprized when a good hand or spin comes your way! Yesterday was such a day for us - put in a $20, hit a $500 jackpot - COOL!        

ANd that Wheel of Fortune game, NOT!!!!!  

I actually wrote that poem, "My Name is Grace" in Homer's somewhere from our last trip here - the sadder side of the city....
Anyway - sorry for taking up too much of your thread..

Cheers!
