Forgive Me, I Meant to Do It
Forgive Me, I Meant to Do It: False Apology Poems | Gail Carson Levine
3 posts | 2 read | 7 to read
This Is Just to Say If youre looking for a nice happy book put this one down and run away quickly Forgive me sweetness and good cheer are boring Inspired by William Carlos Williamss famous poem This Is Just to Say, Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine delivers a wickedly funny collection of her own false apology poems, imagining how tricksters really feel about the mischief they make. Matthew Cordells clever and playful line art lightheartedly captures the spirit of the poetry. This is the perfect book for anyone whos ever apologized . . . and not really meant it.

Great book. I think that the idea of this book was brilliant honestly. Lately, I have been witnessing children apologize for something, but not really meaning it. I think that this book gives children the ability to laugh about these things but to also understand that one should not say it, if they do not mean it.
This book was able to give this idea and learning a sense of humor and understanding for the readers. The poems are very descriptive.

em_lemo This book was published in 2012. Although I think that all of the poems within the book are great, one that really makes me smile, but also makes the reader think a little bit more goes like this,
“THIS IS JUST TO SAY

While you were buying
doll dresses
I sanded off
your Barbie's face

which
you constantly
patted
and praised

Forgive me
her beauty
was only
skin deep.“
