Apple Jelly Poem by Susy Evelyne

Apple Jelly

Rating: 3.5


Apple jelly warms your heart,
Each jar's a little work of art.
Love it on crumpets or on bread -
Glowing rosy-sunset red!

To make it is not such great labour.
Use apples from your tree (or beg a kind neighbour!)
The jelly takes time to boil and set right
But your house will be fragrant as Turkish Delight.

And once you have finished your homely endeavour,
All who taste the result will love you forever.

I love this poem. It makes me want to re-write some of my poems with richer words and phrases. To maintain rhyme with such realism is a rare gift.
