Sara Kendrick Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Women of Georgia

The women of Georgia are like a peach
Beautiful in all ways~ emotional, 
mental, spiritual, and each will teach 
skills to young women~devotionals

Peaches are versatile, fresh fruit to eat
Chopped added to milk and cream for ice cream
Pared, sliced, cooked in cobblers and pies~ a treat 
Made into jam for biscuits; toast, a dream

Women of Georgia pass along their gifts
Whether homemaking or politics teach
Each one has something to share that will lift
our daughters to levels higher to reach

Women of Georgia dig deep in your well
Lift our daughters to ride the highest swell

Kim Merryman August 26, 2016 at 10:29 AM Sara, how did your surgery go? I like the analogy of Georgia women to Georgia peaches. I love peaches, but haven't had any good ones in a while. Take care! Blessings! Sara Kendrick August 26, 2016 at 2:34 PM Kim, The peaches of today are varieties that are genetically altered to be shippable that is not bruise easily so they are not as good as they once were but if you are going to get some get the varieties of late July and early August which are more like the old ones from years ago..The problem with them is the red bitter next to the seed..I just cut that out when I make pickles, jam, or cook a pie..Thanks for the visit...I am doing well..I will have about a 6 week recovery period and a 26 more days of drops..Sara

Daniel Turner August 26, 2016 at 7:31 AM Fun read Mrs Sara. I didn't know you were from Georgia. Though, you are "a true southern belle". Just the mention of Georgia and my mind starts racing. Stone Mountain, "Gone With the Wind", Sherman's march to Savannah, Jimmy Carter, watermelons and peaches,(both kinds) just to name a few. Wonderful! I enjoyed reading you this morning. Sara Kendrick August 26, 2016 at 9:33 AM Daniel, Glad that you enjoyed reading my work...Yes, I am from Georgia.Georgia does have a great history with Alexander H. Stephens being vice-president of the confederacy..Also Robert Loveman was educated in Dalton Ga...It is hot and humid here right now though..thanks so much for dropping by, taking time read and comment..Sara
