Who\u2019s Sorry Now?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Each of us is sorry for or about something. (If you\u2019re not, then lucky you!)<\/p>\n

Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones drew on this uniquely human need* to apologize in a song about two neighbors who are great friends until they tear down a wall in the longest running Off-Broadway\/sometimes on Broadway musicals of all times The Fantastiks<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here\u2019s a snippet:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Plum is too Ripe!\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

\u201cSorry.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re standing in MY Rose Garden!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

\u201cSorry.”<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

And now, with no further apologies, on to our prompt:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For this prompt, list things you are sorry for. (Your list can be as long or as short as need be.) Select one or several items that are related from that list and write a poem about it\/them. Finish the poem with a positive spin by suggesting ways you can, or might apologize, or how you might do better next time.<\/p>\n

* \u201cUniquely\u201d in that I don\u2019t imagine whale apologize for combing up krill, or cheetah apologizing for mowing down gazelle, but maybe they do . . . if so: Sorry!<\/p>\n
