Patchwork Prose and Verse
She knows he loves lights – flashlights, landscape lights, Christmas lights, headlamps, city lights. And so on our first rainy night in “her city,” she took us on the High Roller. A surprise with him in mind. And we loved every minute of the half-hour spin seeing the city lights!

Screaming Pink
it started with
her Barbie bike ~
pink seat
pink lights
pink frame
pink basket
then, of course,
her screaming
pink shoes~
“not approved by
World Athletics:
too much comfort“
we stayed at
The Flamingo
where the birds
and fixtures
were pink
lipstick, nail polish, hair
even the people
were pink
and we topped
it off with
a Pinky
a pink-iced
cream-filled dream
from Pink Box
Donuts
a true Vegas
experience!
Our host for the first day of the February Open Write at http://www.ethicalela.com was Seana, who prompted us to write lines of verse about a special place. We were traveling and on Pacific Coast time in Las Vegas, visiting my daughter and seeing a show at the Sphere. I chose that venue for my special place haiku. You can read her full prompt here, along with the poems of others.
I’m also including some video clips from the concert so that you can share the fun – but the videos can’t capture the full stereo sound and the immensity of the Sphere in person. You’ll have to go experience it for yourself for that! Also, a word about sharing: recording is permitted in the Sphere, and as an additional disclaimer, this is not my music, my blog remains free, and I do not profit from sponsors or visit stats.
You Can Check Out Anytime, But…
