Old El Paso
It's a little chilly.
Tacos, making me feel things.
A lot of spicy green things.
Tomatoes.
Burnin' up the weak things.
I see the ceiling.
Falling through the floor.
Just a weakling.
On a tour, in the evening.
Burnt to the core.
These cacti keep stinging.
Born again.
The bells are ringing.
Cronos swallowed.
Can't stop drinking.
I'm off the wall.
A little green thing.
Satan called.
Thought I was dreaming.
Gave it my all.
This mountain is beaming.
No more balls.
Just receiving.

Creative, appetizing, a deliciously joyous poem about taco's. The rhymes are killer & the flow is smooth. Very cool, very different.

I like tacos... especially those they serve on the riverwalk next to the Alamo... not far from El Paso...

It takes a trained stomach to hold all the green spicy things!
I enjoyed the cronos line:)
Great way of putting swallowing a spicy titan.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Enjoyed your thoughts! I definitely hate spicy food. Maybe a jalapeño sometimes

Old El Paso! Love it!
When we came in from England and settled in New Mexico I was introduced to Mexican food for the first time ( after British and before that Southern cuisine ). I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I never ate in the cafeteria but hit the food truck every day at lunch! Burritos! Convinced my mother to start cooking Mexican and Old El Paso is exactly what she bought! It was never quite the same though.
I died and re-visited heaven in Central America as a missionary! Burritos! Tacos! You name it!
Love how this took me back and the added mythology of Chronos! If he can handle whole, unseasoned children, you certainly can handle spicy tacos! lolol

Hahaha I'm glad you had fond memories. It's cool you connected with it. Thank you for the feedback.
"Old El Paso" … out West Texas hill country way.
Well, Poetess 🌺
Now, you're talkin'!
MexTex cuisine is one of my favorite appetite pleasers … tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chili con queso, frijoles, washed down with a tasty Margarita or bottle or cold Corona cerveza … yummm! All while listening to beautifully festive Mariachi music.
There's nothing more enjoyable than a well-struck Freestyle poem, with its well placed, spot-on intermittent rhymes. Love the jaunty flow of your quick lines, too, how your words seem to sing and dance across and down the page. Imagery is definitely not one of your shortcomings, either; nor, is the magic of metaphor:
"It's a little chilly.
Tacos, making me feel things." (love it!)
"I see the ceiling.
Falling through the floor.i" (been there, done that)
"Thought I was dreaming.
Gave it my all.
This mountain is beaming.
No more bells.
Just receiving." (sheesh!)
A perfect showing of the range and variety your poetic skills.
Didn't miss your playful "wide tacos," either. ; )
Excellent poetry … light and deliciously entertaining … thank you! ⁓ Richard🖌
(somehow, brings to mind the classical song "El Paso" by Marty Robbins)

Thanks alot, Richard! Glad you could relate to the topic. The song choice is basically spot on with my parallel vision about tacos! Great eye for detail and history! Thanks!
