Haikus

GREGORS DADS POV
Shoved him through the door
I told him to stay in there
I then threw apples


GREGORS SISTERS POV
I walked in slowly
I placed the food on the side
I did not look back

GRETES POV
He is not working
There has to be something wrong
I should go and check

THE BEDS POV
He seems bigger now
Since when did he get heavy?
Now he can’t get out

Your Haiku's are good!
The bed one is fantastic!
But how do beds talk?

The haiku from the bed's perspective was brilliant Kim!!!
I love that you write from the perspective of inanimate objects. Very nice work, Senorita!!!

Kim your haiku's are very good. your dad haiku explains the story well

Gregor’s Life
Under the big couch,
I see Grete bring me some food,
She can’t stand my sight.

The Mother
My son he is gone,
In his place is a vermin,
I must find Gregor.

Grete
After she leaves me,
Softly she plays violin,
Through the wall I hear.
