The Gullah

The Gullah people drift with the tide, existing by the Charleston seaside. Their lives more often unduly harsh, yielding and melding with the marsh. Africans of Dominican voice impressed. Tales of Bruh rabbit are among the best. From all over the world they came Slaves, but, of rice field planting fame. ~

I see you have also written about a group of people that is not very well known in the world. You have described them well here.

Thanks for visiting and reading my poem, Charles. Yes, I thought that the word, "leaves" would throw someone off, but it worked best in the sentence, I believe. I Love your poem about the Gullah People. Perfect for Debbie's contest! My very best wishes for the contest and this New Year! Always, Annalise
