Five Haikus Inspired by Painting a Room


Paint splattering down

Raining on my face and arms

Tiny polka dots


Up and down ladders

Rolling fresh color on walls

Instantly transformed


A single paint coat

Hiding years of blemishes

Covered memories


Paint only one room

And discover that the whole

House needs fresh color


Fixing life's problems

Sounds very hard... but it's like

Changing room colors
