Gypsy Dreams

Swirling skirts,
  colorful shirts,
  golden earrings,
  gypsy dreams.

Violins sing
  to dancing scenes.
Big brown eyes
  and tamborines.

Campfires and stars
  glow in the night.
Bangles and beads
  jingle and excite.

Whistles and whips,
  shouts of joy,
  flutes and accordians
  add to the noise.

Happy voices
  sing of days gone by,
  echoing passion
  in a dark blue sky.

It really takes you there, I could imagine sitting around the campfire, singing and dancing, as all join in. /|\

You really got it! Isn't that the most facinating imagining? I wish I had been a gypsy...lol (Maybe I was in another life. Who knows?)

After reading this fun poem, I feel as if I just came from a gypsy camp. I could see the horse drawn wagon, gypsies with bandanas, drinking and dancing around a big campfire. Great descriptive writing Carole. I enjoyed this very much.

Thank you, Paul. I love dancing and music and I think I'm a gypsy at heart.
