Bring on the mountains
Bring on the oceans
I’ll climb and I’ll swim
Until my destination.
I travel in daylight
Don’t hide from the night,
Show me the lions
I’m ready to fight.
I set foot in danger,
I’m not scared to die,
I live off the land
And sleep under the sky.
I have not a burden
I’ve laid down my load
Got a song in my heart
And one more for the road.
I’ve traveled the globe
From Fiji to Rome,
Don’t come from a country
The whole world is my home.
They call me a ranger,
A vagabond, a gypsy
I was born with the wind
And I’m going to die free.

I just loved this part of you. You are very firm with what you want from life.
I am pleased.
Good luck in the contest.

Sounds like and ode to a rambling man if this reflects your actions you've seen tha long stretch of lonesome. I enjoyed the read and thanks for being a contestant. Happy trails.

wonderful write , thank you for entering my contest storm

Wonderful poem, excellent flow.
However, I do not see what option number it fits into, especially since you did not follow the rules and put your option number in your notes, and if it was number 6, in that option there are other specifications for your notes.
Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest, but please fix your notes by tomorrow.

As a Gypsy myself I love the concept of this lilting lyrical poem. love the line "Don't come from a country" I have always felt that way.

Great!
This is very lyrical and has a nice rhythm to it...Nice job!
-
oh yeah and i agree with TheLonelyTree, the title does not suit, no biggy though!!!
-
great write, the poetic nomad, shows your courageous side,and just a glimpse of things to come, just scream it to the sky let it all out you have a message for us all inside you and when you find it, we will all be blown away, only one thing if you are going to rhyme make all the verses rhyme or it alters the flow, (1st verse sorta aounds like you tried to force it to rhyme?)

Hmm well its a good poem no dought about that. But from my point of view its talking about you bieng an explorer one who will fight anything to get to ur desired location.. Its nice but the title doesnt go with the poem.. Good work

Welcome to AllPoetry
This is a well written poem although the last line does not truly fit even though the rhyme is there.
Glad to have you here at AP and please do not hesitate to contact me or any other Greeter online if you need assistance.
Let the ink flow and your fingers dance
