  1. "I would like to tell you"

    You 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.

  3. I'm so sorry
    I 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.

    2. I really like this Rachel. I like the sarcasm in it and I like how it's a funny kind of threat.

  4. I'm so sorry
    I 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

    1. I threw
      the 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

  5. I chose my warm, comfy bed
    over 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.

    1. 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).

  6. I did not feel like
    going 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.

  7. I'm sorry.

    I'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

  8. "Not so sorry"

    Although 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

  9. "I Just Wanted to Say"

    I'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

  10. I'm sorry
    But I'm not
    It was a lie

    Just so you
    Would feel better
    But I never cared

    You don't matter
    Farewell.
