I will also be revising this poem as this is one of my choices for the Lake Area Poetry Contest..Where I live....I need some honest opinions here..lol..

Ice blue eyes of the purest soul
Midlength skirt of jewels that flow
Dark brown hair at the waist its kept
Silver bells jingling with every step.

Flickering flames between wood set free
Warmth of life and love is seen
Dancing,singing and jingling around ones fire
Releasing energy of ones own desire.


Gypsy love of earth and sky
Raising her arms she wants to fly
Dirt beneath her, feet so warm
Jingling bells, the music forms.

Dancing and twirling feeling her soul
Given a chance to connect and grow

A soulful journey within her dreams
Massive energy and love it seems
A flight of fantasy of other places
A life of freedom and many faces.

Traveling along an unbeaten path
Strength and courage in her tracks
Many miles of earth beneath her feet
Co-existing with nature is her heartbeat.

Gypsy Love of Earth and Sky
Traveling along...to never die!

Date: 12/3/2003 4:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 57116    wo wo WOW...now THAT'S poetry...great job!!!!  
Date: 12/3/2003 5:00:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 14780    Gosh..Thank you...DO you see anything that can make this better?  
Date: 12/3/2003 5:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 3688    I wouldn't change a thing on this one...but I gotta say it made me think of Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" because of the title...which was way cool  
Date: 12/3/2003 7:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 56840    Very nicely written! That first stanza does a good job of setting the poem.. I don't know if you'll win, but overall it is definately in the running! Keep writing..  
Date: 12/7/2003 8:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 33286    this carries a great feeling, there are a few things I would change though. I like the use of semicolins to replace some words and personally, I try to not repeat words in the same poem... sometimes you can't help it but, well... like this... ( ) < means add or change...[ ] < means delete.---------------

Ice blue eyes of the purest soul--
Midlength skirt; jewels that flow--
Dark brown hair at the waist (is) kept--
Silver bells (jingle) with every step.--//

Warmth of life and love is seen--
Dancing,singing around [ones] (the) fire --
Releasing energy of ones own desire.--//

Gypsy love of earth and sky--
Raising her arms [she wants](wanting) to fly--
Dirt beneath her [,] feet so warm--

A soulful journey within her dreams--
Massive energy and love it seems--
A flight of fantasy of other places--
A life of freedom and many faces.--//

Traveling along an unbeaten path--
Strength and courage (within) her tracks--
Many miles of earth beneath her feet
Co-existing with nature (as) her heartbeat.

Dancing and twirling(,) feeling her soul--
Given a chance to connect and grow--
Gypsy Love of Earth and Sky--
Traveling along...to never die!--

it is really difficult to critique a poem in this forum, it all comes out as one long paragraph, but I left your line breaks and stanza breaks, I used -- to indicate line breaks and --// to indicate stanza breaks... I also took your two, two line verses and made them into one... some editors insist on proper punctuation and some are a little looser so the choice is yours on that, but personally I would put commas and periods where they belong.
