Blue moon-jellies are drifting, soothingly
pulsating to their own life-rhythm
now they are red moon-jellies...

The bright sun was scourging hot
Under the blue beach
I craved for sugared dessert
Of cold milk, fruits, beans
Jellies, on top of 
My sweet ice
Cream!...

Light up in the dark
where no sunlight reaches them
live in twilight zone.

I love learning about different kinds of nature I'll never get to see....

Gift-giving at Christmas began in the 1820s
Originally, it was candles, wines, fruit, and jellies
 Continuing on till today
 To a much broader array
Some outlandish, some simpler carrying on for centuries...

Fruit laden circle cake
  filled with nuts and jellies
    full of flavor and spice
       fantastic with eggnog
    frequently requested
  for family and friends
fine finish by the fire.

A slow cooked roast with baked potato
Soft spread butter and sliced sourdough
Steamed baby carrots with peas
A-1 Steak Sauce and jellies
Apple pie, cooling by the window

Her way of letting me know, there was a sale at Macy's.
It always worked!...

Marching across my pantry shelf
Jars filled with summer's bounty sweet
Jams and jellies, and all kinds of fruit
But much more than just a savory treat 

The effort to reap nature's gifts
Something so satisfying for me
Appreciating all the earth gives
Food and satisfaction, nearly free

Cookies, cakes, and candies made

Jars of jams and jellies too

Clothes mended and made

Through the years you've watched me grow

Now we share phone calls, an occasional visit

And photos from one another

As my children grow I truly see all that

You've done for me

I love you so for being the mother she could

Never be...

Clay climbed and clobbered Clemson Clue
Doing deliberate diamond disciples daring do,
Enough Elizabethan excitement expressed Ellie Lou
Finishing fancy French frankfurters, freeing Friday’s flu.

Gigantic gyrating griffendorf’s glazing gibbon’s glue
Harboring horrific hellacious hippos’s in hindsight’s hue.
Ignoring illustrious iguana’s illustrating indigo’s favorite blue.
Jiggling jumbled jabborwock’s justified jellies and jams for a few....

In July, no air cooler will dissipate the heat.
I squeeze the bag, it squishes, like paste within my hand.
The chocolate eggs were perfect, the kind one loves to eat.
April's chocolate ovals now are no longer grand.

Why were these candies put on a shelf three months ago?
A preference for jellies, perhaps may be the cause,
But a springtime gain of weight tells the reason, I know.
The candies weren't unwanted. They just were put on pause.

Samantha made jams and jellies out of this, that and the other
She had been taught by the best, her marvelous mother.
You could probably make watermelon jelly said her big brother.
Compliments made her happy, she did not feel any smother.

Her jams and jellies were a hit at the county fair.
These delicacies are to die for said a woman named Claire.
She began to sell them as far as Hokenboken and Delaware.
Berry jam and pineapple jelly always put up in her lair....

How strange to be a jellyfish
Without a heart or brain, 
A blob of see-through matter
Floating out there on the main.

Content to pulsate in the deep 
And if the chance presents,
To sting an unsuspecting soul
And make him scuttle hence.

But if that jelly's guard is up,
He's scooped up by the tide 
And plopped upon the beach
Where many other jellies died.

I guess without a brain that jelly
Wouldn't understand
That to bob beneath the waves sure beats
A sunbath on the sand....
