Family Of Four
Family of four
dead in the road
headlights in their eyes
crushed underneath
they were too slow
the road too wide
a thud underneath
the car kept going
now run over remnants
bloody stains
the sad remains
of possums.

Great poem.
I like this.. I was surprised at the end. Sad, but not so bad.

Sadly, an all too frequent occurrence - the death of wild life on our roads. Here, in the UK, it happens to badgers and foxes or the
occasional rabbit. With vehicles and their headlights having been
around for many decades, you might think that a word of warning
would have been handed down in the animal world by now !
