This is Just to Say I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox And which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold
William Carlos Williams • Williams thought that what a poem had “to say” did not have to be about grand feelings or major events, but could be about the moments of ordinary, everyday life. • He left this message to his wife.
Sorry I don’t get straight A’s I drink out of the carton I’m always late I lie on occasions I ditch class I party on the weekend I act like a 5 year old I take my sister’s clothes I don’t tie my shoes I am messy I didn’t do my laundry I forgot to make my bed again I eat candy for breakfast I disappoint people because I’m lazy Sorry. But not entirely. - Sara
The Dog in the Garden My dog destroyed the flowers in the beautiful garden, All because of me, I wasn’t watching. Forgive me. I used the time wisely playing video games. - Jacob
Pancake Thief Forgive me For stealing Your pancakes I sneaked over While you were gone I stole them so quickly Eating them even faster So warm and soft Your pancakes were Filled with butter and syrup Delicious -Conner
I’m Sorry … I’m sorry for calling you horrid names but everyone else was telling me to, and I didn’t want my reputation crushed by hanging out with you. So please forgive me. I honestly didn’t mean to call you names. - Jacob
