Forever Atlanta

Feel the sun, and enjoy the breeze of spring, Opening your door to let winter out. React to the pollen, watching it cling Everywhere, because of the long drought. Visit the Easter Bunny at the mall. Easter eggs are finally in season! Reach for a stick, then go grab a round ball, And head towards a field for no reason. Turner Field is open! So is Six Flags! Little Five Points is drawing a big crowd! As Piedmont Park invites all tails to wag, North, South, East, and West Atlanta get loud. This is the season. This is the city. And, ignoring them would be a pity.

I like the challenge you put out in this poem, especially the ending, with the implied 'you're a fool if you don't do any of these things.'
