Possum Poems - Poems about Possum

Possum

babies on her back
     the possum crossed the river
          a log was her bridge     

Poseidon's Possum

The strangest things happen
in the Northern hemisphere
dancing dervishes
become the norm
in the mid Norwegian Sun,
mercator projected
A bird in flight
caught by the car lights,
travelling incognito.
Recess to be free,
there's a longing ;
in the upper atmosphere
see the lodestar disappear.

Play Possum

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

Play Possum

Play possum, feeding not dark fears
As they spiral inwards 
Choose bliss instead, that love endears 
Propelling us upwards 

Transcend fear and desire
For love and light, aspire
Pure innocence afire

We’re awesome
Play possum

Play Possum

Play possum; act like you have died,
especially if you cannot hide.
Were there no exits to run to,
pretending death is what I’d do.
This strategy I’d not deride!

Let’s say a shooter has been spied.
Folks are running, scared through and through.
To the floor, let your body slide . . .
        

Play Possum

A game she had played every night 
on guard for that opened-door light;
was quick to react,
cause it was a fact-
each time, it was somewhat a fright!

Cause, under the covers, you see,
'twas something, that just shouldn't be;
a light in her hand
hid like contraband
for something, she'd do happily.

At this hour, she should be asleep-
so that's why mom

We were very young,                                                   

A Possum In the Road

If I’m asked what is my religion I find it hard to say…because nature is where I get my counsel…she’s where I go to pray.

I try to make my questions simple and easy for her to hear…but her answers are quite nebulous…and never quite as clear.

She answers in a way, I’m sure, she thinks will

Beautiful possum
lying in the street
buzzard food

Peter Possum -- Mp

Peter Possum had a nasty rep
He was so white, he couldn't be hep
  He got him some brown paint
  Said, "I am what I ain't!"
If he'd only unlearn that goose step





Note: MP in the title stands for Military Police

Playing Possum

Playing possum
            to an Alaskan grizzly
            barged into his tent, 
                unsuccessful.
      

While Driving At Night

rabbits leap across
loneliest graveled dirt roads
barely missing tires
~
possum shuffle past
the white lines along the curbs
hopes fill their belly
~
raccoon dart out from
beneath laurels and pine trees
hustling toward hills
~
bear lumber along
awaiting hibernation
along forest trails
~
deer travel quiet
sighing soft in the headlights
through misty night fog

Possum

I’ll never forget good old “Possum”
He was the best – a friend to us all
He would try anything, never met a stranger
He risked life and limb – to reach toward the sky

I’ll never forget good old “Possum”
He had that nickname before he could walk
I haven’t a clue just why they call him that
It could have

The Ballad of Ma Possum

THE BALLAD OF MA POSSUM
Roofing like a penthouse floor,
Tis not a haunt but Ma's snore.
A wombatic possum in appearance,
Being nature's pinup is her arrogance.
Her distintictive, brush, bob tail, loss,
reputedly, respected as the boss poss.

Hearing her grunt and fight,
echoing a freaky still night fright.
Oh!, nightlife beware,
if Ma is anywhere.
trees n eyes in the wood
is part of
