It need not be in "poetic" form. You're sorry for something, but at the end there's always a reason why you enjoyed doing for which you're expressing sorrow. An example of this is "I'm sorry I broke your window, but it's the first time I ever hit a home run." Save your work to your Creative Writing folder in a Word document with the file name: apology
