This poem revives the romantic, Hollywood version of gypsy life. It makes a pleasant change from the crude reality of the present day Roma. What was it about those raven haired temptresses with the hoop earrings? So we lost our wallet; so what! Your gypsy reminds me of someone I once knew.

Your words are moving pieces..you had me captured through out...I could actually hear that tambourine!

I enjoyed this Vivian - now with Cher's Gypsies Tramps & Thieves looping in my mind.

I imagine that many women have preyed on many men, for centuries.

You paint such a vivid picture of the night and the scenes of a gypsy and her life, whether real or imagined it chills.

quality and made her madly attractive
and devious..do i want to meet her?
in your poem will do

Vivian,
You have captured the myth and the romance of the Romani very well, even today they are the people of scorn by many people just because of their past and yes some of them(like others) live up to their press.

She'd have to be pretty good to take my wallet and empty it, as it seems nowadays my wallet stays pretty empty on its own...;-)e

Your poem brings out the romance of the gypsy and her fortune-telling ways. Like Jerry, the eyes have it. I was once on a winter train in Germany at night when four Gypsies entered our compartment. Two were men dressed in black and two were women dressed in black. One woman had a missing front tooth and was quite ugly. The other woman was strikingly beautiful with eyes that I kept trying to avert because I was afraid that they might rob my companion and I. I would have loved to talk to her, but was glad when they get off before we did.

Those are the scariest set of eyes I believe I have ever seen, Vivian. Still . . . If I met up with her, I would fore-go my dismay and wariness and hop on that bearskin rug. Uh huh. Yep. I would. Men. We think with other things beside our brains from time to time.
