Groundhog Day Poetry
The connection between Groundhog Day and poetry is strong. For hundreds and even thousands of years Candlemas Day and Groundhog Day have been celebrated in verse. You may have seen the following:
If Candlemas day be sunny and bright, Winter again will show its might If Candlemas Day be cloudy and grey, winter soon will pass away.
And...
If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, winter will have another flight. If Candlemas Day be shower and rain, winter is gone and will not come again.
Now it's your turn. Create a two to four stanza poem that talks about Phil, groundhogs, the six weeks of winter, prognosticating, shadows, the weather and more. We will post selections on our website. With 15 million visitors annually, it may bring you fame or at least get you or your school on our web page. Send entries to Inner Circle member Ben Hughes aka. Fog Spinner - bhughes@pah.org.
