Apology Poems

Poet: William Carlos Williams

Poem: This is Just to Say

Focus: write an apology poem for either a real, or an imaginary wrong. 

Note: as added incentive to prompt students to read, I also wrote an apology poem for every class, reading my own first.

I am sorry
for cutting your
doll’s hair off
but it was
tempting.

by Dylan (Ms. Farrell)

I’ve broken the
plate that was
in the dining room
and which cost
you a lot of money
for that plate
Forgive me
I’ll make it up to
you I’ll find a job.

by Roberto (Ms. Fialkowski)
