Magpie's nest of vipers

What the artist’s wife said.



















I can’t bear to look, ‘cause it makes
Me freak out and suffer the shakes.
They might be fine art
But to me, Darling Heart,
They look far too much like real snakes!

Less scary takes on the prompt at Magpie Tales.

    That is what good art does, allows us room to see in our own way.

    This is the third time this morning I've seen that picture of snakes. What is it with the snakes? I'm missing something here, I know! :)

    Stafford,
    Snakes, colorful snakes! They look cute in such colors that we forget they can get lethal.
