Today’s mission at the dVerse Poets Pub is to choose a quote from the modernist Bohemian writer, Franz Kafka (one of my all-time faves!) and create from it a nursery rhyme.
I’ve chosen, “I am a cage, in search of a bird.” from The Blue Octavo Notebooks
Kafka for Kids!
I am a cage, in search of a bird.
I am a lake, in search of fish
a sentence, in search of a word
a well in search of a wish.
I am an ocean, in search of a sea
a tree in search of wood
a dog in search of a flea
I am bad in search of good.
But more than anything,
I am myself in search of me.
