Punxsutawney Phil

Punxsutawney Phil 
By Franklin Price

It is the month of February 
The shortest of the dozen
Old Phil pokes his head out
His profile has us buzzin'

He does not see his shadow 
There is not long to go
'Til Spring replaces Winter
Trading flowers for the snow

Drawn to have a look through all your poetry and enjoyed all I have read - like you I am a fan of the rhyme or "real" form of poetry. Punxsutawney Phil, whisked me back to one of my favourit films Groundhog day. I'm truly impressed at the volume of excellent poems that you write - keep up the good work. Best, Dennis

You're too kind. When my poems bring associative memories, it makes it all worth it. For me, it's better than money. That's a good thing because I've never made any money from my writings, but I have gotten a lot of joy from doing it.
