Groundhog Day

In honor of “Groundhog Day”, I thought about posting and then reposting the same entry several times (that’s a reference to the movie starring Andie MacDowell and Bill Murray, in case you didn’t catch it). But I decided against it.

Ok, ok, so I slipped it in once. ;-)

Then I thought maybe I’d compose a poem or perhaps better yet, a haiku:

Today is the day
For the most well-known groundhog,
Puxatony Phil

He sticks his head out
To see if winter’s over
By looking ground-ward

If he should notice
His own shadow on the ground
Then six weeks remain.

Meh – not great, but not too bad. You try it.

Just remember now:
5-7-5 syllables
Is the haiku’s form.

Which is a haiku itself if you notice. ;-)
