wild possum plays dead
woodpecker knocks on green wood
willow weeps for both
wherever the carcass is
will the vulture there gather
grandfather
died in the forgotten plague
of the last century*
I sit musing under the cherry
startled by a white possum
*tuberculosis
Aquamarine, winks.
Observing them, they do blink.
A possum, just thinks.

RHYMED HAIKU
A possum of high degree
invited me
for snails and tea.
I would, of course, politely decline
to find another place to dine.
I like my snails with wine.

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

Limerick

There once was a girl named Blossom,
Whose complexion was really awesome.
When I asked for a date,
She returned looks of hate,
Saying, before dating you I’d eat possum.
I can almost hear
the tree scream
lopped and cut to the ground
it's base drilled
and poison filled
oozes life for months
until a spent force
the earth and insects
claim the octopus
with it's once mighty tentacles
being devoured.
I like to go and check out the Heaven before I die
So first I will garner needed good deeds and earn my salvation
then I would just play possum for a while and hoodwink death.
~Sijo contest by Deborah Guenther Beachboard.
After she was born, daddy called her “little possum”
Mama said, “Don’t listen child, you are gonna blossom”
they never saw her smile
they said, “It’s not her style”
When they placed her in the ground, both whispered, “You are awesome”
When the possum met with our tire tread
He lay still and we thought he was dead
So we scooped him right up
In a pot for our sup
Let’s just say we were gravely misled

A possum skull with Maggots and small agates filling its stomach
Maggots that Search for something Wise that will suffice
first Of all, my brain is a maggot searching for agates
my backyard, a prairie, has fulfilled me of not all of my wonders
This sandy shore is mine, I am its vassal;
building my fort, I was much too facile.
Just as I finished, here came a passel,
a passel of beach possums, razzle-dazzle.
I'm not quittin', though it be a hassle;
possum trash'l be an awesome castle.
Winter is surly.
Eagerly early,
Spring overtakes.
Not left behind
I hurry to find
Clippers and rake.
Each bud and blossom
Quits playing possum.
Appearances make.
Responsive resurgence,
Fixed on fast forward,
Nature awakes!

Silently signaled,
Eagerly early
Spring overtakes
Not left behind
I hurry to find
Clippers and rakes.
Each bud and blossom
Quits playing possum
Appearance makes.
Responsive resurgence,
Fixed on fast forward,
Nature awakes.

Won 2nd place
Let this be a reminder of
How you pounded your incestuous breath
On my lips
Hands clinched to my hips
As you force fed me
Your spoiled milk
Scared from the threats you made
I played possum
As you played your dirty tricks on me
I forgive you
But Karma is a *****!
My advice to thee
Whenever under a tree
Is always be careful
And don’t cop a hair-full
Because they do stinky wee.
They’ll keep you up all night
As they clamber, screech and fight
But come break of day
They’ll all stop their play
And go to sleep when it gets light.
Possum ran
out in road,
me squash him,
like road kill,
Under shoe,
Rest in peace,
Dear friend...

I sleep all day out of sight
In a tree hollow
Coiled up in a ball, am I
Stay still; don’t wallow
When night doth blossom
In the dusk I will forage
Just call me “possum”

For the Wonder of Dusk in Seguidilla Contest
Alley cat sitting
On a fence post, in the dark;
Movement in shadow,
Catches his marbled, green eyes;
One leap and dinner is served.
Such a feast will last
Him and his friends, a whole day;
Opossum will fight;
But, alley cat’s determined
One leap and cat is the meal!
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.
I once had a Manx who constantly primped; her white underbelly never sported one piece of grass or dirt. She kept so clean and fluffy that we’d no idea he’d had her backside chewed up for three days, by an Opossum!
In altercation
My cat became Opossum
Chow wearing teeth marks.
