Magpie 192 November 3, 2013 Perception

Resurrection Reunion 2, 1945, Sir Stanley Spencer

It's a curious place
This little town
It's quite odd and really
Turned upside down
The artist paints Resurrection
While others think 
It just depends on one's perception

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers!
