Night Noise

 

Lights! Action!
It's showtime in Vegas!
Oh yeah, night noise
lots of hullabaloo!
Gamblers, hustlers; hookers too.

 

Tourists,bling machines,blackjack,get down
and oh yeah,money makes the world go round
Fancy town, with smiles and  frowns  from loosing
To all this I say, no thanks, No Way!
I'll keep quiet in the morning as my choosing!

 

 

 The city lights,well they hurt my eyes 
and the loudness is deafening to my ears
and the odds at winning mega bucks?
Well it just ain't happening here!

 

 And fancy don't impress me

Winners and losers never really win

So Viva Las vegas~ I don't need ya

and I say that with a grin

 

It's in the quiet of the morning

that's fitting for me to relish in

not the night noise,

why, that's just downright annoying

and quite frankly,that's how I stand

This is great, so suggestive of a place and atmosphere.. could almost be a song..

Yyes, it could be, read the second time around.

Seems the bright lights and the hullabaloo don't appeal, so get back to the peace and quiet and just remember!

Thanks for sharing a fine piece of writing that really conjurs up the place.

I have never been there, but your poem makes me feel like I was there. Great job!
