"This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams
POST YOUR OWN "APOLOGY" POEM AND COMMENT ON A CLASSMATE'S POEM.
I like Jade's because she did a good job of adding in what most people do during the holiday season, which is finding their presents intentionally or accidentally. I also think she made it work well with the tone William was trying to get at.
I like how Justin used the last line "I need a nap" to symbolize how tired he was because the friendship is collapsing and there's nothing he can do to stop it.
I really like Cassie's because sometimes we get so wrapped up in what were doing that we sometimes forget about the little things were supposed to remember.Its not that we intentionally forget its just that when your excited about something, it just slips your mind.
I like this poem because this happens to all of us, where we forget many people's birthdays. Sometimes the only reason why we remeber people's birthdays is because of Facebook.
I think that Haley's poem is very meaningful because it is more serious than some of the others. It teaches us that we need to be there for our friends so they can be there for us. I like this poem because it has a lesson.
The second line reminds me of Eminem's song Brain Damage... What more do you want from me? Anyways, I like this poem because it actually relates to my own personal life. Sometimes, my sister and I fight, but we never really mean it. We agree not to do it again.
I like this poem because it's really easy for a majority of people to relate to. Everyone's always yawning in school because they have to wake up so early, not so much because they're bored.
I’m sorry
ReplyDeleteI forgot that
You told me to
Empty the dishwasher
Now we have
No clean plates
To use
For Dinner
I hope
You can
Forgive
Me

I bailed
ReplyDeleteI left
For a quick
little theft
I know you
All shun
But baking up
A bun
just isn't me
If I may ask
one little thing
It's that you
forgive a
ding-a-Ling :)

saving
For christmas

Jade ye
I like the theme of the poem as I can relate to it in light of the approaching holidays. I think you did a good job emulating William's mocking tone.

I like the vagueness.It can be applied to anything and has a very universal theme.

Period 5
I didn't listen
ReplyDeletewhen you told me
that I shouldn't leave
my homework until the last day
You told me
to get ahead
so I didn't have
to do it last minute
Now it's 12 A.M.
the day before it's due
I am stressed out, tired,
And really sorry
Carlye M.
I like Carlye's poem because it has humor to it, and it's something a lot of students can relate to including me.
DeleteHaley K

ReplyDeleteEven though
You told me
To stay in

Because I
Disobeyed you

To have fun

Our friendship

DeleteMiriah V
I like this poem because it is really hard for me to remember birthdays so it can be applied very easily to my life.
DeleteEvan B
I forgot
ReplyDeleteAll about us
And our friendship
When times were hard
I left you out
In the cold
When you needed me
And I wasn't there
But now I need you
And you're not here
You've moved on
Because I wasn't near
So now I apologize
The guilt is weighing on me
I feel so bad
Please forgive me.

I'm so sorry
ReplyDeleteThat I
Forgot to
Let the dog out
She peed
On the rug
And its all
My fault
Next time
I will
Try to remember
To let her out
Miriah V
I like this poem because all people with dogs can relate to it. This has happened to everybody at one point or another.
DeleteGriffin
Im sorry
ReplyDeleteI hurt you
You cried
I left
But now I need you
And you wont come
I feel so forgotten
I cant hide the hurt
They say
What goes around
Comes around
Never thought
Id be the one who got hurt.
Jocelyn G
This poem makes me want to cry. Its an apology but at the same time a stinger at who hurt her. Well done Jocelyn!!
DeleteEden W
p. 5
I’m sorry for the rain
ReplyDeleteI wish it would go away
It only causes pain
no one wants it to stay
If only it would stop
then we could go outside
But first we’ll have to mop up
that old soggy goat hide
Evan B
I've said I'm sorry
ReplyDeleteWhat more do you want?
I shouldn't have done it
I'm sorry again
I will not do it again
Or you will yell at me again
She's my little sister
and sisters
are supposed to fight
Eden W
p. 5
The second line reminds me of Eminem's song Brain Damage... What more do you want from me? Anyways, I like this poem because it actually relates to my own personal life. Sometimes, my sister and I fight, but we never really mean it. We agree not to do it again.

Forgive me
ReplyDeleteI didn't have time
To deal with
Your problems
As my own
For which
You were relying on me
Because
You were incapable alone
But now I
Feel better
Because
You're ruled out
Sarah C, Period 5
This is one of my favorite poems because it is something I can relate to and it is very honest.
ReplyDeleteBrittany S Period 5
I ate all of it
ReplyDeleteYou told me
not to eat it
But I still did
Please forgive
me for my
poor decision
I was only hungry
I’m sorry
Don’t be angry
I just wanted
to devour everything
