About This Poem

Possum

Possum
Crossing 
Traffic lanes
Stop to watch
Approaching lights
Comatose
Mesmerized
By piercing
Brilliant sights
Buses, cars,
Trucks, or trains
Scramble visions
In their brains
One Possum
Immobilized
Remains

    hmmm, the poor thing. Did he get hit or is he still standing there traumatized for life? This was very interesting. I saw Possum on your list, and just had to read this one!!!

    I love word play involving multiple meanings. That's why I very seldom punctuate my poems. Thank you for your wonderful comment.
