I gypsy from place to place
with each person that I encounter
greeting me with warm embrace.

I gypsy to homes of devoted friends
and to homes of loving kin
leaving me with new amends.

I gypsy to exciting lands unknown
to quench an unquenchable thirst
seeing what has never been shown.

I gypsy with belongings in tow
with words that are often repeated
"We reap what we sow"

Unci, you have a keen eye for FORM. I am well-aware that so-called modern verse relies little on form, but it is a true mark of a poet to be able to capture form as you do. Also, your rhyme is good and has a nice "set" pattern. My study of poetry has told me that those who condemn form and rhyme are those who are not able to capture it...anyone can scrbble random thoughts and call it verse, but you take the "path not followed" by most. Thus, I like your work. Keep it up. G.
