POEM STARTER

Write a poem about an apology.

What is the apology for? How is it received?

Every Word

We used to be happy

Now we’re are no longer an “us”

“I’m sorry” doesn’t cover it

But I won’t make a fuss


You sat and confessed

While love and hate blurred

You thought I didn’t hear you

But I heard every word


Waves crash and retreat

Sand forgives and forgets

And it happens once more

Still you have no regret


You apologized again

That last brain cell stirred

I knew you didn’t mean it

But I heard every word


I used to know you

Then you looked me in the eyes

I didn’t know who I saw

Now I see it shouldn’t be a surprise


I asked you to go

You told me I’m being absurd

I apologized

And I know you heard every word
