I added a tree to my picture.
It was in the wrong place;
I moved the paper left.

I painted a blue, cloud-specked sky.
It was too low;
I raised the paper.

The house with the red-tiled roof
I had carefully portrayed
Fell off the edge of the cliff
And crashed to the sea.

A bystander was clinging on
By his fingertips.

He looked angry,
But you could not see that.
