C.M. Kelly Poet Rhyme

The Possums Scream

       I want to hear the possums screeching
         Coming from the trees.

       Their noise starts out as scratchy,
         Then a terrifying scream.

       The curdling of the blood they cause
         Can send sane people fleeing.

       The cold murderer in the bush
         Is who they are seeing.

       I know a possum when I hear it,
         Trying not to panic.

       I need to run now. Get away!
         Or things could end up tragic.
