Madrid Del Dia

Senses overwhelmed, history revealed,
           I step into Plaza Mayor.
   Antique hues of pinks and grays stun.
           Madrid welcomes me.

    Late sun casts golden shadows.
          Camaraderie envelops.
        I peel my brain for words.

       Spanish brass serenades,
           a musical aperitif.
       Thoughts turn to supper,
           as I walk and walk.

  I see it, “Menu del Dia” in amber and red.
        Savory breeze guides me.
  It reads, "Tapas, Chorizo y Jamon",
              I can’t resist

      Vino Tinto completes me
         as I wonder the day.

Everyone said, “Always order the Menu del Dia”
With that and little else, I headed for Spain
