My very experimental attempt to present my thoughts on Las Vegas, Nevada (my hometown) through Haiku.

Las Vegas Valley

The Meadows is what it means

Yet desert we see.

Casino mecca

Suburbs filled with families

Blend together well.

Beautiful city

Full of ironic contrast

Glitter, nature, sin.

Ciudad of dreams

Forever evolving fast 

Such high energy.

For me, peace, nature 

Purple mountains, lovely sky

Family and home.
