"This Is Just to Say," by Starlee Kine. 

One, 

I chose the other 
girl. I'm sorry. 
It's not just tha
I'm more attracted 
to her. 
It's also that 
she is more 
interesting. 

Two, 

I used your dog 
as an excuse 
to pick up girls 
at the dog park, 

which is especially 
tacky since I'm 
your boyfriend. 
Please forgive me. 
I'm really bad at 
being in a relationship, 
and I'm pretty sure 
I told you that when \
we first got together

"This Is Just To Say" by David Rakoff

At our wedding
I disappeared briefly
To have sex with your sister
Up against the back of the port-o-sans
What can I say
The chardonnay was so fresh and cold
And I so full of love and a sense of family
And I said, I'm sure
One day we'll laugh about this
Well, by one day
I meant that day
And by we
I meant me
And by laugh
I meant laugh

"Sorry, But It Was Beautiful" by Andrew Vecchione

This is just to say
sorry I took your money
and burned it.

But it looked
like the world falling apart
when it crackled and burned.

So I think it was worth it.
After all
you can't see the world fall apart every day.
