Mariachi Poem by Bryony Sheldon

Mariachi

Rating: 5.0


He walks down the lonesome road
Dressed in a dusty, black charro suit.
In his right hand is a loaded six-string,
In his left is a loaded semi-automatic.
He doesn't have money on his mind,
But he has a price on his head.

El Mariachi,
He's not looking for trouble,
But he always finds it.
On his dusty black suit is blood
As red as diamonds. It's not his.
It's not his as his heart is as black as spades.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This was based off of a movie poster that I saw three minutes ago for a film called El Mariachi. I've not watched it but it looks pretty cool.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Very sensitively perceived, especially without seeing the film and living in a totally different environment. I do know Mexico a bit, Spanish language and Latin America, and I can tell l you that your feel for " El Mariachi" and his external and internal appearance is like the British say, spot on! Good show, Bryony. A poem made by the eye of a painter and the analysis of a psychiatrist.
