Retell the Kafka Story

I have an idea to help get people points and study at the same time. Lets take turns and re-tell the story using haikus only.
Ill start.

"Good morning sunshine."
(I awoke from my long sleep)
"Something feels... different."

Where is my body?
I have taken a new form
How did this happen?

P.S.
This was a really good idea Brant. Good thinking.

Mister Dee said...

Maybe I'm drowsy-
I've traveled a bit too long
And I needed sleep

Ele said...

(i looked at the clock)
Oh my god it is seven!
i missed my train... crap

Ele said...

P.S.S i agree with Andrew. this is a fun and creative way to help study and get points back from the weeks we missed blogging!

Ele said...

But i cant get up
(i try to get out of bed)
i need to get up

Kiberico said...

I wobbled to the
Left, and wobbled to the right
No progress was made

Kiberico said...

i think Brant should get an extra blog point for thinking this idea, its fun!

brantmcconnell said...

i agree with everyone here, thanks eveyone

brantmcconnell said...

there is a banging,
my doors about to cave in.
"Stop everyone please"

brantmcconnell said...

"Come out here Gregor"
"Im okay dad, I promise!"
"What is that strange noise"

brantmcconnell said...

"Call the locksmith here!"
"Gregor! Gregor this is your boss!"
"I'll make the next train!"

brantmcconnell said...

"Gregor, it's Grete"
"Im opening the door now..."
"AHHHHH! What is that thing!?"

brantmcconnell said...

"Keep it in it's room!
Let me hit it with this stick!"
"Dad, it's me Gregor!"

The story was slow,
I wrote five parts in a row,
And gave it more flow.

Kiberico said...

i stayed inside of
here and was under the couch
i was then brought food

Kiberico said...

i did not like the
milk, it was my favorite
i ate rotten food

day by day i hid
not leaving this room of mine
now they want to move

no furniture is
left in my room just a frame
of an old lady

she was an old lady
with fur and she was all that
i had left in here

what was once my own
is vacant and free to roam
i want furniture

the lodgers came in
today, maybe this will help
the financial needs

they listened as she
played the violin with care
and she was put down

my anger rushed through
me and i had to come out
of the empty room

i was then seen by
the lodgers they were scared of
my enormous size

andrewmcdaniel said...

They started to shout
Seeing me made them upset
I should have stayed back

Ele said...

they yell at father
saying they would not pay up
for I bothered them

Ele said...

alone in my room
i cannot crawl around now
to many things here

Ele said...

i am so alone
my sister has left me too
yet i still love them

brantmcconnell said...

My dad throws apples,
The apples hit me with sin.
One stuck in my back.

brantmcconnell said...

This looks infected.
I hope it doesnt haunt me...
Why are there roomers?
