Caren Krutsinger Poet Limerick

Arab and Berber Traders

In the seven hundreds, we traded salt
Arab and Berber traders
Were gold and ivory graders
Horses and tigers bartering came to a halt
Cloth, swords, and books traded for chocolate malt.

Michelle Faulkner December 31, 2019 at 7:24 PM From salt to chocolate malt - what an exotic journey! Caren Krutsinger December 31, 2019 at 11:34 PM I like salt and sugar, and chocolate. Made lots of sense to this little mind of mine.
