Georgia State Park Acrostic

 Today’s poem is written in response to Kwame Alexander’s invitation to submit a poem about parks and recreation

Georgia State Parks Acrostic 


geocaching, kayaking, hiking, camping -

everything around you is 

outdoor-beauty-breathtaking,

resplendent fresh-soul peace  

grounded in the magnificence of the 

inner sanctum you know is 

always there - but too rarely plugged in


step in to the park and light up 

the soul! take it all in! breathe! 

a mama duck prodding her ducklings… 

trees rocking hammockers….

everything around you is  


prime life - swimming, fishing, biking -

a full connection with a live screen - 

real life (none of this virtual stuff) - you’ll 

know you’re part of something bigger 

                   when you 

step into the park
