opossums play dead
outwitting predators who’d
otherwise prevail
O is for opossum.
#AtoZChallenge: 26 posts in April, topics to proceed alphabetically. Theme optional.
My theme: a three-line poem each day (5-7-5, haiku form) with the first letter of each line the same as the letter of the day.
Amusing one – opossums is a great ‘O’ to get in there!

Thanks! I’m no fan of opossums, but the photo was just begging to be used 🙂

Loving how you’re managing these haiku. I saw an opossum playing dead and it was very convincing indeed.

Thank you. The little guy in the photo was pretty young. He hunkered down there and sat stock still for several minutes. He must not have gotten the training yet on playing dead.
