Not only that, but they get the people to whom they apologized to write poems back. 
In haiku, pantoums, two-part poems, snippets, and rhymes, Mrs. Merz’s class writes of crushes, overbearing parents, loving and losing pets, and more. Some poets are deeply sorry; some not at all. Some are forgiven; some are not. In each pair of poems a relationship, a connection, is revealed. 4aApologizing 4aChildren's Literature 4aPoetry, Poems, Verses or Theater 4aChildren's poetry 4aForgiveness 4aFeelings and Emotions
