Crabapple Jelly by Vicki Feaver

Read the poem and finish the sentence chunks with your impressions on your senses based on the poem.

I see country lanes, wild apple trees, kitchen setting with copper pans, long wooden spoons, muslin nappy with a bowl, wasps, clear and shining jelly, colour of fire, church fete.

I feel fury and anger, trepidation, excitement.

I hear the smashing of fruit against the sides of the pan, dripping into the bowl, closing doors and windows, clamouring wasps, dribbling syrup.

I smell sweet apples, a pouch of sourness, the sharpness of the jelly.

I taste apples as sweet as cherries and  sourer than gooseberries, a bowl of sourness, syrup boiled up.
