Poetry Challenge #229-Once More with Feeling!
Happy Groundhog Day aka Feb. 2nd, the day where folks all over the US and Canada look to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and a groundhog named Phil, to tells us when winter will end.
Here’s the 4-1-1: The drama begins when Phil comes out of his burrow. If he sees his shadow, Phil will freak and scurry back into his den. If this happens, winter will last six more weeks. If he stays outside to play, spring is on the way!
I feel like I’ve watched this over and over and over . . .
Poetry Challenge #229
Once More With Feeling!
In a popular movie in the 1990’s, a weatherman got stuck repeating Groundhog Day. In honor of this year’s Groundhog Day, write a poem that gets stuck repeating a line.
Write two lines that rhyme and then write the repeating line (refrain).
Try to write at least a 9-line poem.

Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge 2000+ days ago. Now we take turns creating prompts to share with you. Our hope is that creatives—children & adults—will use our prompts as springboards to word play time. If you join us in the Challenge, let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole poem in the comments.
