“Possum”

Possum

One winter’s night /

a dish rattles; a possum /

scavenges cat food.

Visitor

Midnight visitor /

seeking seeds birds left uneaten — /

oh possum surprised.

“Possum love”

Possum love

The night was fulsome. /

The opossum was hungry. /

Bird seed made a feast.

“My name”

My name

I am not Stanley. /

Why does she call me bad names? /

I call her Gertrude.

Haiku and photo: “Night visitor”

Night visitor

Ancient face abounds;

Deep into the night it shines.

See in darkness home.

A new day

Hang down; new day up. /

Daylight Savings Time rebuff. /

Eating im-possum-ble.

Haiku and photo: “Possum handling”

Possum handling

Possum in my hands /

Baby in the morning sun /

Embracing nature.
