Jelly jams : Family Poetry

Jelly jammed with Love

Golden vials of sweeten apples, oils

Lemon thymes, lavender, orange extracts

Gelatins, melted sea green waxed seals

Stirred boiled poured in cut glass jars

Pretty hand written tags, old crafts

Strawberries, raspberries, drops of Almonds

Lemons, Grapes of gifts, tinted pink wax

Painted on lids of bountiful fruits

Mothers, daughters, sisters mixing

Jellies, jams, gelatins syrupy concoctions

Sharing joy, love, tradition, fixing fixatives

Ribbons, pretty fabrics wrapped tightly

Sealed with steady streams of Love

Sugar memories, packed with carriers

Buttering toast, smearing rolls, breads

Making perfected memories of shared

Thanks giving, poured in pretty sanitary

Jars, pots, potions, mixed with fixatives

Filled with Love, smiles, laughter

Sharing simple bountiful treasures

Hand made Jellies, Jam, sweetened

Air, a bountiful harvest of women

In love, a spirit of peace, family

Three of each dividing

The bounty, shipping, sharing, carrying

Carting jelly, jammed with Love
