The Backyard Tragedy of Mr. Groundhog
by : gadiv
device : free verse, meter sniped
describe : a former visitor to my backyard, until the day I was washing dishes and watching him, and then I was dropping dishes and watching him die when the neighbor shot him with his .22
He had always been so
Careful careful
Sniper sniper pap pap sniper
Falling down down
Into a furry comma that rolls
Tight tight and grabs at the air
Into a furry comma that relaxes
And straightens
And stops stopping
