"Grape Sherbet" Blog post 2011

In the poem “Grape Sherbet”, they tell a story about a time they remembered. Reminiscing on a love one in the past who has deceased. They are celebrating a time where they were making grape sherbet and the girls father was cooking. Her father is the one who had past away. I can relate to this poem a lot because there was a time where my family and I were celebrating and a song came on that he used to sing all the time and also his favorite food was being served. The phrases that help me imagine this poem is when it says “After the grill dad appears with his masterpiece. We cheer.” This shows the celebration and happiness of the day. Imagery helps the reader to imagine the event and it helps the reader relate.
