Annie's Ghost Poem by Ima Ryma

Annie's Ghost



Legend be, white witch of Rose Hall,
Annie Palmer with lovely smile
Murdered her husbands, one and all,
At her home on Jamaica Isle.
No doubt an eye for men she had,
Including her plantation slaves.
When done with each she did her bad,
Sending them off to swampy graves.
It's said that one such slave, Taboo,
Did not abide by Annie's taunt,
And choked her till her face went blue.
Rose Hall, Annie's ghost still does haunt.

He sang of Annie's ghost for sure,
Johnny Cash was bewitched by her.
