Jellybeans tell a story, did you know? A tale of God's love...
Red –Jesus’ blood
Green—His harmony in our growth
Purple—His sorrow for humanity
Blue—Is for the heaven's in which He came
White—Is for the grace He gave
Black—Make merit not sin, and you will be forgiven
Yellow—Is for His light that shines within
Orange—Is for the strive for the greater good
Pink—Is for the new beginnings

4/5/26
The ads and displays are everywhere
crowding entries and doorways.
There are even commercials on monitors—
I can’t escape.
I rush in for a few items and conversation
but choices offered seem bigger than life.
Signs that say save and save
implore that you spend more.
I pass by an aisle of more types
of bread than I could imagine
leading to a myriad of types
of peanut butter.
I must confess I couldn’t find
the peanut butter with jelly
that delighted my tongue
when I worked long, hot days
with construction crews
some other time and place.
Every small town I passed
nestled along narrow highways
had a name on a water tower
as it pierced the sky.
I long to go to a quiet place
and list my memories
a collage of the life
I’ve known.
Judy Tucker’s Jelly
Sally Ann’s ass
Lucy in the sky with vacuum
Pretty puzzlers
Tiny tina’s marigolds,
Give color flavor beauty and meaning to our lives
Helping us remember
What we’re here for.
Sitting on a napkin or plate,
they cause my two eyes to dilate,
and there the silent ringing sound,
the sweetest not heard, the world round.
Can you hear, as angel bells toll
the chiming tones of a jelly roll?
Today I think of your
Contributions closing the theater’s door
Putting together toasted bread
Ready for a child to be fed
Youngster wearing grape jelly
Face down to the belly
Laughing saying ‘this is great’
Not showing any hate
But Peanut Butter, it is you
Who makes the mid-day matinee ever so cool
Thank you for coming out of the nutty shell
I would like to tell
About the sandwich where you are
The star
Performing with a backup fruity band
Bringing in all your fans
Grabbing using two strong hands
Not really needing added ham
Applause when going into the mouth
Travelling stomach south
Toddler enjoying the mess
Never will they confess
Instead, go off to sleep
Napping counting Bo and Peep
Lovely sheep
Who once were said
Proclaimed Holy bread
God’s true lamb
Sacrificed when ended up caught in a jam
How much do we love
Our meal fitting like a glove
Getting it all over ourselves
Nutritious wealth
Giving us good health
Being simple as a chair
Lunchtime afternoon’s delightful affair
Always welcome on the stage
No matter what the audiences age
Jelly roll
Watch em fall
Sadness of a lost season
No time to reach out and touch a life or a song
Jelly roll
Theres so much a child in you
Things we talk about appear nothing extreme
But although my mind always wants it all
A hang glide in the sky won't happen today
Ill tell you what I hate
You can show me what you...like
There's no other way it can go.. jelly roll
Each day every step
Each day every step
Every step is another Feeling away from paradise
Away from the strongest human desire
Its not chocolate
Not caffeine or cigarettes nor booze
The talent that you sling
Its the kindness of your lips
The unknown treated like king
The wrestle of your hips
The Van morrison thing
melody loops in my mind..... in my brain
She got ...something
about Blue Money and Tupelo Honey
The likened matters
of the magic in music
Songs for sunshine songs for rain People were kids
Chains replaced Innocence reines
Make them young
The cowards and bastards
Make their desperate shadows
Disappear
A room in heaven
A white silver bed
A cherry gold carpet
Windows of perceptive
Air as thick as steel
My love a crush
On my Jelly roll
Today I had a jelly apple –
What a special treat!
My husband bought it just for me
‘Cause he is very sweet.
Atop the jelly, coconut
Was sprinkled, extra nice,
Although the jelly by itself
Would certainly suffice.
The coating on these store-bought types
Is gooey and real soft.
As kids, we would have tasted them
And laughed or even scoffed.
For in my youth, the jelly apple,
Sold in outdoor stands,
Would crackle when you took a bite
(To dentists’ reprimands).
Yet nowadays, I am content
To take what I can get
And my teeth are probably relieved;
My dentist need not fret!
There is a man who had a big belly
That wobbled just like a bowl of jelly
It rocked the baby to sleep
Allowiing the wife some peace
Peace was a night on the town with Kelly.
His smile soon turned into a sulky pout
When once the wife stayed all of the night out
His vocals were obscene
Making the baby scream
The wife swore that he had no need to shout.
He tried hard but he could not believe her
He thought her a fibber and a loser
So he shed his big tum
Now he’s out having fun
Wishing he’d shed his big belly sooner.
Never saw them sold where I live
get em from Amazon, probably overpay
but they are the taste of joy
grab a handful and shove those little jelly beans in my mouth
munch on all the colors combining into a burst of fruit flavor
they are soft and chewy as if they just were made that day
goodness and delightful, shouldn't eat them but got to live
it's okay once in a while. A1c is 7 now, need it in the 6 range
God Bless these people who make wonderful things for
the world to enjoy, something so simple and sugary
yet happiness with every chew
Just Born jelly beans when you shouldn't treat yourself
but the smile on your face glad you did.
I bet there are no calories in heaven.
Jelly con fruity
Serve for summer drink delight
Best for you and me.
Jelly fish's transparency
Clear as day
Watch out for that sting
Enchanting, fascinating
Persistent, stubborn
Single-minded
One-purposed life
Self
Self-preservation
Zealous as he pumps
Through ocean waters
Committed to survival
No yours
Not mine
His
Woke up this am and climbed out of bed.
Slept with my shoes on and a song in my head.
The beat grew stronger as the lyrics spread,
like peanut butter and jelly on a slice of bread..
A word of advise before you hit the bed.
Be prepared for your dream life and what's ahead for
one never knows where dreams may tread.
Strawberry jelly
Nailing jelly to a fence
See bright colour shines
Its impossible
Red liquid, has stained the fence
The nail is alone
My tummy rebelled today
Saying, 'No more dessert; no way'
My eyes bugged out
My tongue salivated
Hours of frustration awaited ...
I want to become a jelly fish.
Brainless
Boneless
Bloodless
I want to float in the Ocean.
Let the waves carry Me.
