What a wonderful way to share your beautiful Georgia with us.

Pass not by the old dirt road
Through covered bridge and oaks now bowed
To Blue Ridge foot a trail of tears
Forgotten lore and pioneers

The imagery is awesome. I can see this beautiful scenery through your words. The old covered bridges...surrounded by the trees.

Pass not by where rivers run
To catch a glimpse of morning sun
Savannah sands their lonely dune
Atlantic Oceans lovely tune

What a wonderful sight this is. I can almost hear the waves playing that tune.

Pass not by ere roadside crest
Where beneath the stones a princess rest
Eternal youth from waters nourish
Reach gardens where Azaleas flourish

What a great story about the princess. The lore that goes with this story I'm sure will be passed down for generations to come.

Pass not by ancestral graves
Nor shacks of wood that housed the slaves
Pause a moment ...pass not by
Listen to her lullaby

You have written your Georgia's lullaby and your words have sang it to your readers.

Kay,

You made such an excelllent poem! No filler words(lol) and great use of words. I could see it all in front of me:)
I would love to see some pictures of your state and hometown if you are willing to share them:)

Love, Ingrid

Beautiful Kay! Love the awesome references to the great historic places in Georgia! This one has a nice rhyme scheme and beautiful flow and imagery.

Love the repition of the first three words at the beginning of each verse! It's hard for me to choose a favorite line or verse because it's all so wonderful but I'd have to say the ending is great!

"Pass not by ancestral graves
Nor shacks of wood that housed the slaves
Pause a moment ...pass not by
Listen to her lullaby"

Lovely poem! I have a friend who moved to Atlanta a few years back, so I've visited that city a few times. Also Dahlonega

I love the way this is written, with the "pass not by"s - it sounds really professional, like a classic. and the loyalty to your state is so heartfelt - 5/5 =)

Your love to this place is so sweet & adorable.. Well done & beautifully penned. Great job, keep it up 5/5

I'm fortunate to be able to see the Blue Ridge Mountains from my garden (although a tad further north) and can wholly relate to the obvious love you have for your home state. A beautiful tribute.

A lovely, enjoyable read

"Pass not by"but stop to admire beauty which insist calmly. Beautiful imagery given and lovely tribute too. Beauty found in nature is really something......
aren't we all blessed because of it.Wonderful write!

Wow! you just took me on a beautiful trip to Georgia. What a wonderful piece. I can't say enough to praise this work. Great job. This is the kind of poetry I like to read.

A fantastic ode to Georgia. I could really feel and see Georgia in my mind when reading this poem. My train passed thru Georgia when I moved from Florida last month. I regret not having the time to explore your colorful, scenic state.
