As I thought about how his shadow foreshadowed spring, I remembered some groundhog poems I wrote several years ago. My invite to an elementary school just happened to get scheduled for Groundhog Day. As a guest poet, how could I NOT write rhymes about groundhogs? Here's a short one written for Phil. I'll leave the scientific version of a groundhog rhyme for another time...
