O young Opossum


O young Opossum you,
In my lanai bamboo,
Cower over blossoms
Where evening brings
An end to hiding, soft,
Unhurried --stay aloft
And don't be worried.

  1. Extraordinary! A marvelous photo discovery and beautiful admonition (for all of us) to stay aloft and don't worry.

  2. Here we call the opossum Road Kill. They have a very short life on the curvy and hilly streets of PA.

  3. When I lived in a city, possums would come help themselves from the cat food in the garage; I had to move feeding my cats indoors. Now I live rurally and in a wood, and never see them.
