Write a poem about this little guy, the humble possum - if you can.
I've noticed /lit/'s poetry threads have sucked recently, so I'm going to try and get you guys focused wit ha prompt this time.

Possum, possum, with eyes so starry bright,
Why won’t you come down from your tree tonight?
Ye come down with neither bang, nor whimper,
And climb into my arms that grow limper,
O little beast, you’ve won my once black heart,
Until you let out a merry ol’ fart…

I could break you open
and tear out the nuts
in the shed where things like that happens
where cold soil meets cold night
possum possum possum possum

this is the story of a cute possum

cute possum
doing bam
bam bam bam
walks on a tree
does a cute cry
because he's an animal
and wants to be human
and when human cries
the world is on fire
this is the story of a cute possum

What's this glowing in the distant darkness?
Black beady balls flickering
They disappear with a blink
And reappear with a wink
Some ways away again glittering

What's this chirping in the distant darkness?
Mousy little chitterings
Precocious, precious and naive
Protesting pallid her leave
Huddled together quivering

What's this flapping in the distant darkness?
With noiseful wings flittering
Sounding out pleasant hoos
Threatening to their wee coos
Whisked away now are those eyes once shimmering

You may fool some
When you pretend to die
But it just makes it easier
To bake possum pie

This reeks of Card. He will steal your poem and pass it off as his own. Don't reply to this thread

Humble Possum climbed on a whim
Up he went to rest on a limb
Humble Possum looked so nervous
Down he went back to the surface

A Possum of Influence

Pink stamen spurting
Pearly possum cream
White grease gilding
The cusp of Anatidae anatomy
A goose gives birth
To a brush-tailed fowel

A bloodied possum-goose
Miracle bereft of life
A pillar of the rodent community
Waives spousal immunity
To testify against possum-wife
