: Water in the Desert by Treischel



The water in the desert
Is a real Dam miracle.
Colorado stream diverts
to Las Vegas spectacle.

Technology has moved this
environmental treasure,
creating an oasis,
a place of gambling pleasure.

For better or for worse.

Author Notes
Hoover Dam provides the water to Las Vegas as well as all its electricity. It is an engineering marvel, but I wonder, at what cost.


This is just simple abab rhymed quatrains on a meter of 7 counts.

This photograph was taken by the Author himself during a trip to Las Vegas in March, 2013.
