Play Possum

wild possum plays dead
woodpecker knocks on green wood
willow weeps for both
wherever the carcass is
will the vulture there gather

Creative way to go with this idea Edward has given for the poets to use. Reads like a good contender to me. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
