 Miss GypsiNess has toiled too long at Jollity's inure, Long past her Day of Reckoning; now Muses fill the air With Merriment's harmonic song of Gadding's grand allure. 'Tis now her Day of Beckoning as Sirens touch her lair. Enough Responsibility; she's labored much too long; Now cast aside all vestments grave; belabored slipper shed And ready for Frivolity to sing the Sirens' song. Their melody delightful stave of mirthful trails ahead. With Burdens all much lighter now, and shed ungilded skin, No further play for Toiling's game; for Future's yet to know. She's done her best, met her Avow; new Journeys can begin. She hears Adventure call her name with all it shall bestow. Her Quest in life to have some Fun and write of all she sees, With eyes and heart to focus yet on Future's sweet Entrance. She'll tell you when she's touched the Sun, thence Siren's Song she'll be; Bemused by rhythmic castanets, you'll see her gypsy dance. So, heed her well, she has forespake - she'll venture to and fro, With tentominium she'll bide throughout the Summer's day. Though knowing not the road she'll take; and paving as she goes, Impassive mountains move aside, enticing Gypsy's way. Entrust in this, loved ones and friends, she and her Travelin' Van; Miss GypsiNess is Hearkening life's Siren's luring word. She'll forge new trails by this week's end, and be a Travelin' Nan. She hears her Day of Beckoning - the Sweetest Song she's heard. [This message has been edited by MissGypsiNess (edited 07-02-2001).] |

psst, Gypsy girl - There's a free campsite at our place. All you gotta do is pull your wagon into the drive, and you will be more than welcome. As for your poem - I know you, and I am not surprised at the complex style - not at all. You are wonderful. Here's a hug from me and my siren. |

This, MissGypsiNess, is a totally awesome ballad! Could you please teach me how to write one of those?  |

The mind boggles at how many unique email addies you must possess to have so many aliases, Nanners.  I think it is so wonderful that you have this chance to rove and wander, and rest assured I'll be singing the Ramblin' Rover for ya. |

I hope the gypsy wagon stops in Pennsylvania. Free room and board here, and a few crying babies. (not referring to me or Denise). I liked the exuberance of your poem. It is so great to just take off on an uncharted course. But please put my house on your chart. Lovin' it Liz |

Welcome to passions, Miss Gypsiness! I think the title most of all drew me in, then the body sung the soft melody of a siren true. Excellent! *smiles* ~Tier |
