Melbourne Candid Series #1014 Bourke St Mall

 


Upon a bench in city’s thrall,
Just off the path of Bourke St Mall,
A crusted roll in hand so tight,
With flavors rich and pure delight.

The crunch, the taste, a midday treat,
With herbs and spice both fresh and sweet.
A simple feast, yet none compare,
To Banh Mi savored in the air.

  5. He looks like he is about to enjoy his first bite and is eager for it. That is a fine descriptive poem, most creative.
