The Traveler’s End

On By Veera

Hey all! I’m back with my next poem, titled “The Traveler’s End”. Enjoy!

A very warm welcome,
Ladies and gentlemen;
Lo and behold,
The Traveler’s End.

An exotic platter awaits,
Of piquant dishes;
Of exquisite drinks,
And lip-smacking relishes.

Might I request, you sit,
Enjoy the night view;
Watch stars innocently twinkle,
On the skies,an inky brew?

My friends, I now present
The Menu of Endless Tastes,
Browse through endless options,
You needn’t make haste!

If undecided,may I suggest
Sandwiches,for starters;
Veggies in secret sauce
A flavorful appetizer?

Cottage cheese barbequed,
Marinated in coriander paste;
Cauliflowers fried with fervor,
Dishes of irreplicable taste!

Wonton rolls,perhaps,
Or crispy onion rings;
Nachos,with sinful salsa,
Or tacos a’ mouth-watering.

P’raps soups elegantly dressed
With veggies and cream,
Decorated with tangy spices,
Gleaming a golden gleam.

Dig in, good sirs and ma’ams,
While the feast breathes steam;
Colorful delicacies resembling
The dishes of your dreams.

Sizzlers full of sauteed greens,
Rainbow congregations of pasta,
Mexican magic served spicy,
Or vibrant veggie pizzas.

Perhaps cenouras a algarvia,
Or long,chewy spaghetti;
Gratin dauphinoise,
Or plates of rich biryani!

Might I recommend,for dessert,
A Cornish pasty,
Or slices of apple pie,
P’raps flamboyant pastries?

If that is all, my friends,
I shall present thy bills;
P’raps our flavors have left
Your palate,fulfilled!

Come visit again sometime,
If with our service, content,
You are welcome anytime
At the Traveler’s end.
