Georgia Land of the Peach

G  eorgia land of mountains and plains
E  arth of red that is farmed again and again
O  rchards of peaches, apples, and pecans
R  ural country with rustic charm
G  oobers planted under the ground
I   nvites folks to just hang around
A  tlanta the capital, fun, fun play

Georgia's variety make for a great stay
Just for a week end or a lifetime~ come today!

Hi Sara, Your poem is quite inviting just mentioning Atlanta brings thoughts of Gone with the Wind film. What are goobers, are they eatable or decorative? Congrats on your win! All the best Theresa xx
