"This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams
POST YOUR OWN "APOLOGY" POEM AND COMMENT ON A CLASSMATE'S POEM.
I really like the way this was written and your writing style in general. This poem is very easy to relate to as well, as I often have trouble getting out of bed in the mornings as well (especially when the blankets are so warm and the air is so cold).
"I would like to tell you"
ReplyDeleteYou told your joke,
I didn’t laugh.
Please understand;
No reference was made,
No words were played,
And your joke
Just wasn’t funny.
I enjoy puns,
I enjoy wit,
Humor is better
When it is clever,
I’m sorry
That your joke
Just wasn’t funny.

This poem
ReplyDeleteMay be short
May be witty
But is not
Sad to say
Well written
It is however
A poem
I'm so sorry
ReplyDeleteI forgot to care
About your punishment
'Cause the affair.
You deserve forgiveness!
It wasn't fair!
In reality,
I really don't care
you lied and cheated
you should beware.

I like yours Rachel, I feel like it's something people can relate to easily. And you can sense the humor in it. It's really good!

I really like this Rachel. I like the sarcasm in it and I like how it's a funny kind of threat.
DeleteMorgan R.
I'm so sorry
ReplyDeleteI didn't do my homework
You warned me
I didn't listen
It was my fault
For leaving it
Last minute
And now I'm stressed
My grade will show it
I was tired
I'm sorry

I threw
Deletethe cake
that was for
your birthday
I ruined
the party
and caused
a disaster
she pulled
my hair
I fought back
Forgive me
I had to win
and now
I'm satisfied

I chose my warm, comfy bed
ReplyDeleteover this big test.
It was calling out
to me, and I said yes.
I'm truly sorry, test.
My dreams have
indeed, outdone you.
Now I will regret,
not studying for this test
Or maybe I will just miss
my warm, comfy bed
I really am sorry.

I did not feel like
ReplyDeletegoing to work today.
Today was just not my day.
I really am sorry,
I lied about having a cold.
And now my paycheck,
will not be so large.
I am mad at myself,
I really am.
But I had a very restful day,
and I'm sorry my boss did not.

I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that I cannot forgive you
because of all that you put me through
I'm sorry that it took so long
for me to realize that I was wrong
I thought you were so nice and sweet
Turns out you were a total cheat
I'm sorry that I could not see
that you are no match for me
So here and now before I leave
I'd like to say that I'm sorry

"Not so sorry"
ReplyDeleteAlthough I took your friend
I promise this is the end
This here is my apology
But I have no shame
All life is is a game
You win, you lose
You cannot chose
Next time try walking in my shoes

"I Just Wanted to Say"
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry
that I stole your pizza
I'm sorry
that I am a dog
The piece
was quite delicious
Until you find out
I will look at you
with pouty eyes
You don't know
what I did
But I do
Lizzy B. Period 1
I'm sorry
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not
It was a lie
Just so you
Would feel better
But I never cared
You don't matter
Farewell.
